Axial Jet Engine

grabcad

I build jet engines as a hobby. Many friends have asked me over and over how jet engines work, so I made this assembly to show them. Now, this is not a real engine, just a quick design I threw together. The combustor is way too big, the nozzle has no cooling, no fuel system, no accessories, etc. I couldn't add compressor stators because my computer just lost a DIMM, and I'm limited on RAM right now, but in a real axial compressor you'd need some stators between stages. But this assembly shows all the major components of a turbojet and was fun to make. I hope someone else can enjoy it as well.
