Aircraft Gas Turbine Engines

The Adour turbofan engine provides propulsion for the many variations of Hawk.

Sphaera has expertise in the design of interactive CBT courseware covering gas turbine engines for both commercial and military aircraft.

Using 3D interactive models, users can identify the location of key engine components.

Clear schematic diagrams allow the engine to be built-up in a series of easy to understand steps and allow the user to observe the flow of air through the 4 phases of the working cycle - induction, compression, combustion and exhaust. Gas turbine engines follow a similar working cycle to that of a piston engine. For more information on the working cycle of piston engines see:

• 2-Stroke Engines
• 4-Stroke Engines
