Evolution of jet engine design led engineers to axial flow turbojets. Instead of compressing air perpendicular to the axis of rotation, axial turbojets compress the air parallel to the axis of ...

The engine being tested in the video, is a General Electric J79, an axial-flow turbojet engine, designed in the ’50s and used by several types of fightes and bombers across the world.

This hypnotic whirl of metal is the afterburner of a General Electric J79 axial-flow turbojet engine—the same engine used on F-4 Phantom jets, made by McDonnell Aircraft during the Vietnam War.

By the way, another aircraft of the past was very well known for its engine’s howling sound: the F-104 Starfighter. In particular, the General Electric J79-GE-11A axial-flow turbojet engine ...

Check out the photos below: The SR-71 Blackbird was powered by two Pratt & Whitney J58 axial-flow turbojet engines. Source: US Air Force Each engine gave the Blackbird 32,500 pounds of thrust.

According to the U.S. Air Force, the Pratt & Whitney J58 engine was a nine-stage, axial-flow, bypass turbojet originally developed in the late 1950s to meet U.S. Navy requirements. It was the ...

It was soon announced that BMW and Junkers were working on “official” axial-flow turbojet engines for the German air force. Two weeks after Germany invaded Poland, the German air force ordered ...

Its C.450 Coléoptère (the French word for “beetle”) was powered by an axial-flow turbojet engine and had a 10.5-foot diameter ring-shaped “wing” that encircled the bottom half of the plane.
