Have you ever wondered how a jet engine works? This course will give you an introduction to the fundamentals of gas turbine engines and jet propulsion with a “hands-on” experience in engine assembly, measurement setup and operation of a small-scale gas turbine jet engine. The introductory lectures will cover the history of the jet engine, thermodynamic and aerodynamic fundamentals of gas turbine engines, current engine design trends, and background information on the small-scale jet engine design, assembly, test setup and operation. The hands-on lab will be carried out in teams in the engine test cell at MIT’s Gas Turbine Laboratory.
