AE705 /153M/ 152 Introduction to Flight Fatima Salehbhai Third Year U G Student Mechanical Engg. Deptt. IIT Bombay Types of Propulsion Systems AE-705 Introduction to Flight Lecture No 11 Capsule-06 What is propulsion? Moving or Pushing
AE-705 Introduction to Flight Lecture No 11 Capsule-06
Why is propulsion needed in aircraft?
- Moving or Pushing an object forward
Propulsion = pro (forward) + pellere (drive)
What is propulsion?
- Getting aloft - thrust + lift
- produces thrust to push an object
- used to accelerate, gain altitude, and to maneuver
AE-705 Introduction to Flight Lecture No 11 Capsule-06
Revising Thrust
- Drives an airplane forward
- To sustain lift and counteract drag
- Energy required
- Heat by the combustion
- Propulsion system
- A machine that accelerates air backwards

Applications:
- Designed for Military Aircraft, now also used in boats and cars
- Medium range cruise missiles
- High exhaust speed, small frontal area, relative simplicity
Failures:
- Poor efficiency at low speeds
- Low Range and Endurance
- Slow response to Throttle
