Interactive Jet Engine

Take a jet engine apart and put it back together, then run up the throttle and watch the air flowing through the turbines and listen to the whistle of the engine.

These models were used to produce an interactive teaching programme on how a jet engine works for school children as part of National Science Week 2000.

To view the jet engine models, you must have the Macromedia Shockwave plug-in installed. You can download it here.
