Jet engines are one of the most powerful engines in the world. Some of the best passenger airplanes, as well as the military jets, such as the Boeing 777 and the Fighting Falcon, use the latest and most improved jet engines. That is why new engines have to tested to the slightest detail hence even the tiniest malfunction might cause a disaster. In the following video below, we see a jet turbine tested at its full speed before being put in use at the Hush House. F110-GE-100 turbofan, which is the name of the engine, is able to produce as much as 29,000lb of static thrust.
As we can see, the jet turbine is cautiously secured to a steel frame. It only took a minute or so for the engine to reach its maximum thrust, and we see the jet fuel shooting itself from the back of the turbine. The Fighting Falcon is able to fly twice as much as the speed of sound all thanks to this jet engine. The size of it is massive and standing close to such powerful engine might be life-threatening. What do you think, will jet engine improve even more in the future?
At last, check out the ten largest engines in the world.
