For the propulsion demonstration, I think that it is an cool experience from the demonstration. I get to know where the energy came from for the plane to gain more thrust and fly.
The air was drawn in through the air intake thus air is compressed. The compressed air are mixed with the fuel and being brunt in the combustion chamber. Hot gases are produced and expand through turbine. Therefore, thrust is created.When the engine is running the temperature can go up to about 600 degrees. The sound made by the engine is very loud so we are being told to wear an ear mask to protect our ears.
From this demonstration, I learnt how the gas turbine engine is being operated to create more thrust for the plane to fly.
