Simplicity of jet motors is indicated in this sketch of the P -59-A propellerless fighting plane. Note that
basically the motor consists of a drive shaft, impeller and turbine wheel. Air flows into intake (A), is
compressed by impeller (B), and goes to blast chamber (C), where fuel is ignited ' and temperature
raised. Turbine (D) is propelled by, air pressure and in turn gives power to air compressor at front of
engine. Air flows at high velocity through nozzle (E) creating by reaction the force which drives
plane forward, This plane uses twin turbo -jet engines.
