Course: Aerospace Technology I (21055-I) > Section: Exploring Aircraft Components

Summarization should include

- the concept that turbine/jet engines are more reliable and efficient than reciprocating engines
- the differences between axial and centrifugal flow
- the jet cycle
- intake, compression, combustion (and various combustion chambers), and exhaust.
