THRUST

Anatomy of a jet engine.
Follow the air. Enter the machine.

BEGIN THE JOURNEY
A journey through air, energy & precision.

THE FIRST
REVOLUTION.

Twenty-two blades.
One continuous invitation.

TWO PATHS.

Most air goes around.
A smaller stream goes deeper.

About the machine

An original, unbranded, high-bypass twin-spool turbofan. The inner LP shaft connects the fan, booster and rear turbine; the outer HP shaft connects the core compressor and forward turbine.

Geometry and airflow are authored illustrations. Motion is slowed to reveal the mechanism. The 9:1 flow split and field displays are illustrative, not measured telemetry.
