Where does a turbojet’s forward push come from?
Fit the components, then test the mechanism.
Air enters the compressor, passes the combustor and turbine, then leaves faster through the nozzle. The turbine and compressor share a shaft. Rearward momentum gained by the air produces forward thrust.
Pressure-matched exhaust and negligible fuel mass. Exit speed is a chosen flow condition, not a simulated thermodynamic cycle.
Create at least 10 kN of positive thrust.
Create positive thrust from exhaust momentum.
