Austin left out a most important detail, which is the theory of convergent/divergent ducting because his explanation doesn't explain a ramjet which has no moving parts at all and yet acts the exact same way from a physics standpoint. I think he was just trying to simplify it for the laymen out there. But as a former military jet engine mechanic I can tell you that it's a little more complicated than he's describing.. the air does not escape out the front because the divergent ducting of the diffuser section prevents it from doing so. But if the pressure in the combustion section rises to the point where it overcomes the pressure wall of the diffuser section then the flow does go out the front and is what is known as a compressor stall. this was actually a big problem of the original TF 30 engines on the F-14 because if fuel was added to quickly when a pilot pushed the throttle forward then pressure rose much too fast and before the air could expand out the turbine it overloaded the compressor/diffuser causing compressor stall.
Love your video, but you need to correct something in your analogy about force. You don't push a car when it runs out of gas. You get a can of gas and pour it in the tank. You push a Tesla when the battery runs down. Xplane forever! Thanks for all your hard work.
Hello. I really enjoy watching your videos... Because this is official channel of your X-plane sim I would like to ask you to not quit over vr implementation Please. I think that most of virtual pilots here use only or mostly the best vr headset like Varjo or HP G2. This are working the best not on steam vr but on OPEN XR. Could you be so kind and add normal smooth working this exactly technology to X-PLANE 12 please.
Excellent videos; greatly appreciated everyone of them. Can you make another great video please? When elevation happens the speed is not always the same. Can you explain in a video, how the temperature affects the climb and speed in a GA aircraft when the air is cold, warm, or hot. Greatly appreciated, J ... Simmer
It looks interesting at first that both pressure and temperature decreases while velocity increases, but i guess the velocity is the net particle velocity to the back of the engine, to the lower pressure area. So the bumm's energy to the particles is directed towards the back by the pressure.
I don't know why but you just reminded me if this old Howard Stern prank call 😂 ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-LY5VhtgcRpg.htmlsi=hFWgd8B6CH1GlJ-_
You are the first one who could give ma an answer to this question I carried around for decades, and you did so with the most flamboyant style...! I know, I could have collected all the necessary data myself and put it all together myself, but then I probably would have also created a flight simulator that would compete with x-plane...lol
Thanks for explaining things in such a memorable way! Whilst watching I realised that the question of why doesn't the pressurised air come back out the front of the jet engine has quietly bothered me for many years, and it is nice to have that one cleared up at last!
2:29 _"30 C° for the Europeans"._ And for the South Americans too¹. Don't forget us, we also fly X-Plane down here. 1. Actually, for most of the world's population.
Seems Thomson has been promoted from marketing director to laminar's official test dummy, he will need to stich some measurecross labels on his body, so we can track his movements and copy it into planemaker. oops, that would be motion capture. maybe wait for x-plane 13 or so.
