Training

 

Job training consists of classroom instruction, including inspection and repair of aircraft engines and equipment. Training length varies depending upon the specialty. Further training occurs on the job and through advanced courses. Course content typically includes:

  • Engine disassembly and repair

  • Repair of hydraulic, fuel, and electrical systems

  • Repair of aluminum, steel, and fiberglass airframes and coverings

Turbofan Engines

To move an airplane through the air, thrust is generated by some kind of propulsion system. Most modern airliners use turbofan engines because of their high thrust and good fuel efficiency. On this page, we will study basically the CF34-10E and CFM56-7B engines.

Engine Fan

Engine Fan

A spinner is an aircraft component, a streamlined fairing fitted at the centre of a turbofan engine. Spinners make the aircraft over all more streamlined, reducing aerodynamic drag and also smooth the airflow so that it enters the air intakes more efficiently.

Turbofan Engine

Turbofan Engine

The turbofan or fanjet is a type of airbreathing jet engine that finds wide use in aircraft propulsion. The word "turbofan" is a portmanteau of "turbine" and "fan": the turbo portion refers to a gas turbine engine which takes mechanical energy from combustion, and the fan, a ducted fan that uses the mechanical energy from the gas turbine to accelerate air rearwards.

RR Trent XWB

RR Trent XWB

The Rolls-Royce Trent XWB is a series of turbofan jet engines developed from the Trent 1000. It is the latest engine of the Trent family, and is used exclusively for the Airbus A350 XWB.

Engine CFM56-7B

The CFM56 engine is a high bypass, dual rotor, axial flow turbofan, product of CFM International Company.
