The types of jet engines are

  • Turbofan engine: A turbofan engine has the largest fan at the front, which sucks in the air. Most of the airflows around the exterior of the engine. This makes it quieter and gives more thrust at low speeds.
  • Turboprop engine: A turboprop engine is a jet engine connected to the propeller of the aircraft. The turbine present in the back is usually turned by hot gasses. This turns a beam that drives the propeller. Moreover, some of the small airliners and the transport aircraft are powered by turboprops.
  • Turbojet engine: The turbojet engine is a rejoinder engine. In a reaction engine, escalating gasses push hard against the front of the engine. The turbojet sucks in air and condenses or compresses it.
  • Turboshaft engine: The turboshaft engine is premeditated so that the swiftness of the helicopter rotor is free of the rotating speed of the gas producer. It is the form of a gas-turbine engine that functions much like a turboprop system. The engines thereby provide power for a helicopter rotor.
