Squeezed to 145 PSI (3.458 psi std atmosphere at FL350*42 pressure ratio for a Trent) while banged through a labyrinth/"cuisinart" of fan and compressor blades, heated to thousands of degrees, and banged through another labyrinth/"cuisinart" of turbine blades, only to be expelled into -60 degree air.

Sucks to be a parcel of air going through a jet engine core! Glad I can watch it on computer instead of living it! Cool link.

I'll always remember the way I was taught the sequence....suck, squeeze, bang, and blow.

That sounds like one or two...or five...of my relationships.....

Essentially, that's the same sequence for the reciprocating engine, too.

Same sequence for a great date too.

isn't 7-9k rpm a little low for a jet engine?
