And now your United States Air Force presents the proudly we hail production, Second Fiddle. Tonight, it's the senior prom at Centerville High. It's one of those nights that a youngster will remember for a long, long time. After all, graduation from high school means the end of an era. As the guest speaker at the commencement exercises said, tomorrow, you young people will face the world with adult responsibility. Well, this responsibility is nothing new to Eddie Benson. He's a good year or two older than most of the other fellows who graduated yesterday, and he's been facing adult responsibility for a long time. But let's not talk about that now. This is prom night, and a night to have some fun. Say, let's get some air, huh? We might just as well. They're playing a rumba, and that's one dance you just won't learn. Never had time. It's nice out here, isn't it? Eddie, have you thought about... What thought about what? Well, everything. I mean, Dad wants to give you a job in the store. You could learn a lot, you know, how to fix radios and TV sets and all kinds of appliances. Yeah, I guess so. Mother says we're still a bit too young. Yeah, my mother says so too. They forget they were both married at 17. That's a jet. It must be the newest night fighter. I wonder where he's going. He could work out, Eddie. We could both save for a year, maybe two, and you'd have a good job. I'd love to be sitting with the controls of that baby upstairs. A lucky guy. Really, Edward Benson? When a person is talking about serious things... Okay. I spoke to your father tonight while I was waiting for you. Oh, you didn't tell me? What'd he say? What'd you say? Well, I said... I didn't think I could take the job. Oh, Eddie... Margaret, working in a store is okay for some people, but how could I stay in a store eight, ten hours a day? Yes, ma'am, no, ma'am. May I tell you about our easy budget payment plan? Now, in this refrigerator, you'll find the finest workmanship and a one-year guarantee. Oh, Margaret, how can I do that? Eddie, people grow up. They want to get married, have a family. You have to work. Don't tell me about working. I had a work since I was eight years old. I sold papers, I moved lawns, I jerked sodas. I know all about work. I didn't work. Mom would be in a spot for the rent. No, Eddie, you just can't do odd jobs for the rest of your life. Gee, if you could afford to go to college and maybe learn to be a doctor or a lawyer... Oh, is that it, Eddie? I'll wait. I'll help. We can both work. I want to fly. But I won't wait while you hang around the airport and sneak rides and fool around with engines and run errands for the pilot. But I know how I can be a flyer. You know who steered me straight to it? No, and I don't care.  My father? But he wants you to come into the store. Then maybe one day it'll belong to both of us. I never understood your old man. Not until tonight. I thought he was a stubborn kind of guy who wanted everything his own way. It's funny, isn't it? We never sat down and just talked. He's all right, your old man. He wants me to fly. I just don't believe it. He has too much common sense. Man, enough sense to know that a guy has to do the thing he wants before it's too late. Eddie, he said, if you're not kidding, if you really want to go do it, don't just dream about it, but make it come true. Do it the best way, the most practical way. Papa said that? You bet. Now, where would I ever get the money to learn how to fly and qualify for a pilot's license? But your pop showed me the way. I can join the Air Force. The Air Force? Well, what else? I'll enlist and put in for Air Cadet. They'll teach me how to fly. It's that simple. And while I'm in, I can even qualify for a commercial license. It won't cost a cent. It'll cost, I'll even be paid. The Air Force?  Well, gee, I don't know. I hadn't looked at it that way. Well, you haven't told me what you think. Well, Eddie, do you want to enlist in the Air Force? Well, Margaret, I have to. Well, then it's all right. It's okay with me. Well, it's a start for us, Margaret. It's a step in the right direction.  Edward Benson became airman Edward Benson. And then one day, orders came through. And once again, Edward Benson started school. A different kind of school. And he had another title. He was designated as an aviation cadet. It was an exciting school. And there were fellows here from all over the United States. Fellows who spoke with a variety of accents. There were draws from the deep south, slang from New York, broad A's from Boston, and tall stories from Texas. And Eddie found he was a part of the greatest group of guys he had ever met. The routine, well, it was tough. You have to be on the top mentally, as well as physically to fly an Air Force ship. But Eddie loved every minute of classes and training and study. Not bad, Benson. Well, thank you, sir. I'll say one thing. You know your instruments. Have your headphones checked, though. Sir? Might have a loose connection somewhere. About a minute up there, you weren't following my instructions. Probably didn't hear them. I'll turn them in now, Lieutenant Carter. How was it, Eddie? Shooting, fishing, a barrel. Did you get... I mean... Were you nervous? Nah. Oh. Boy, I'm scared. What? Nothing happens that we didn't learn in pre-flight. Yeah. How's the lieutenant? You'll find out. Oh, come on. Oh, Joey's great. He makes you feel easy and relaxed. Yeah, I bet he does.  Hey, what's the matter, kid?  I don't know. Maybe I was kind of excited or... Must have been something I ate.  That's me. There's nothing to worry about, Joe. Yeah, yeah, sure. Will you be at the PX? No, I'll see you in the room. I want to crack that book on aerodynamics again.  Well... Here goes nothing. Hey, boy. Come on. Come on. Wake up. Chow time.   I don't know. I felt kind of funny. You did? Yeah, I just fell asleep. Hey, kid, you don't look too good to me. I think you ought to see the medics.  Come on, watch for Chow. It has a 21-inch screen, Mrs. Jones. Uh, tell me, Margaret, do you ever hear from that Benson boy? Oh, yes. We're engaged. Oh. I understand he joined the... Whatever did he join? He's an aviation cadet in the Air Force. How nice. Of course, the antenna is built in so you don't have to bother with anything on the roof. Another good feature. Does he write you? Every day. Does he like it in the Air Force? Oh, he's very busy. He just finished pre-flight. Now he's taking primary training. And then he'll be taking basic... Yes. Oh, just think. Little Eddie Benson of Flyer. I used to give him a quarter to mow the lawn. Oh, can I show you the combination model? Oh, I'm just shopping around. I'll be back. Give my regards to Eddie. Bye. The toughest part of it all is to say goodbye to the fellows you've gotten to like. Every now and then, a guy gets eliminated. Oh, there's lots of reasons. It's tough here. You've got to be on the ball. You've got to listen all the time and learn and study. It's not easy, but, honey, is it worth it? There'll be times when you won't be able to see.  Your response has to be automatic. Excuse me, Benson, I know I'm not a great orator. I'm not a comedy star either, but I didn't think I was dull enough to put anybody to sleep. I'm sorry, sir. Now, understand. One day your life is going to depend on the lessons you learn here.  Maybe a mission that'll involve a thousand lives. Excuse me, sir, but Benson hasn't been feeling well. I think he's got the flu.  Report to the flight surgeon, Benson. Sir, it's a little hot in here, and I... That's an order. Major Gordon. Major. Slow, but who cares? Well, I might have had a boy with the flu. I'm interested in knowing. Flu? Cadet named Edward Benson. No flu turned up today. Neither did anyone named Edward Benson. He didn't. Nope. Thanks, Major. Hey, Joe, you want a soda? Hey, what the flight surgeon's saying? I don't know. I didn't go. You didn't go? That's right. But Lieutenant Carter told you... What was I going to go for? I feel fine. Uh-oh. I see a guy heading our way. Don't look now, but here comes Lieutenant Carter. Benson, thought I told you to report to the flight surgeon. Well, I would have, sir, but I fell okay. That's not for you to decide. Oh, sir, they take one look at me and say, this guy's okay. What's he trying to do? Be deformation? Besides, sir, we had mathematics this morning, and I can't afford to miss any of that.  Well, sir, you know, there's all this virus running around. It comes and goes. Once you feel better, what do you need the medics for? Yeah. Well. Okay, Benson. Swell guy, isn't he? Yeah, the best. How about a little softball? The guy's wanted to get up again. Okay, count me in. Eddie, you're up! I haven't been able to hit this guy all day. All right!  I got him some glasses. How do you ever get in the... Can't you get up? Eddie! Eddie, you hurt your leg. No. What's the matter with him? Eddie! Hey, get the medics! Say, nurse. Say, what's wrong with me? How do you feel? Oh, great. I mean, I feel okay. Must have been running too hard in the hot sun. Can I get out of here? Oh, sure. Well, when? My lieutenant. He's awake. You're Major Gordon? Yes. That'll be all, Lieutenant. Yes, sir. Tell me how you feel now, Benson. Sir, I'm okay. I can't miss any more classes. I have to get back to the outfit. Can I get out of here in the morning? No, Benson. Afraid not. But why not? Benson, I have the worst job in the Air Force. I-I don't understand sir. Had any pains in your bones, your joints lately? Or right now? Yes, sir. I'm afraid I do. That only confirms the diagnosis. But sir, I'm okay now. I don't see what that happens. Benson, you have rheumatic fever. What? It'll go away maybe forever. And you'll be able to stay in the Air Force. Oh, Major, never do a thing like that to me again. I was afraid you were going to say I couldn't be a flyer. I said you'll be able to stay in the Air Force. I'm afraid you won't be able to be a pilot. Oh, no, sir. Benson, I could have broken it gently. I could have stalled you and built up false hopes. But I wouldn't have been right or fair. But I'm okay. I know I'm all right. Ask my instructors. Ask my CO. I'm leading the class. Call Lieutenant Carter. Ask him. I said I had the worst job in the Air Force. Look, Doctor, I have to fly. Ever since I was a kid, I never wanted anything else. You can't take it away from me. We won't take the Air Force away from you, sir. There are other jobs. Ah, sure. Second fiddle. You can't have an orchestra without second fiddle. They're just as important as anyone else. Now, look, Benson, I know it's tough. All my life, I wanted to be a doctor. I worked for it, and I studied for it. I know how I'd feel if they took it away from me. Oh, no, you don't, because nobody ever did. You can find something else in the Air Force that's just as good.  Do you have anything else to tell me? Well, if you don't mind, I guess I want to be alone for a while. You are listening to the proudly-we-hail production Second Fiddle. We'll return in just a moment for the second act. This is an age of specialization when the young man with good training is in great demand. He's a man who commands respect and good pay wherever he goes. And he's a man who's moving forward with the times toward leadership and success in his chosen field. Yes, training is the key note to success. The young men in the United States Air Force are getting the world's finest specialist training in the most modern technical schools. They're becoming experts in such fields as communications, photography, aviation medicine, and a host of others. There are literally hundreds of jobs open to ambitious young men in today's Air Force. If you're a young man of military age and expect to serve a tour of duty in the near future, we suggest you investigate the exciting and rewarding opportunities awaiting you as an airman in the Air Force. Remember, it's the young man with the training who gets ahead in this age of specialization. And you can get that training in the United States Air Force. Visit your Air Force recruiting station and talk it over with the friendly people there. You'll be pleasantly surprised. You are listening to Proudly We Hail. And now we present the second act of Second Fiddle. You need a hand, Eddie? No. I wish I could do something. Ah, nobody can do anything.  Hey, boy, that's right outside of New York, my old hometown. I can give you a couple of phone numbers. I forget you're engaged. Lucky boy. What thing would have me, huh? Eddie, how about coming over to the PX? The guys are all there. They'd like to say goodbye. We won't see you when you take off in the morning. I'd rather not. Sure. Well, I guess they'll understand. I guess they won't. One day, they'll be something I'll never be. They'll be pilots. You want to go for a walk, Eddie? Yeah. If you don't mind, I'd like to go for a walk by myself. Hi, Vincent. Oh, Major Gordon. What are you doing out here? Well, I just thought I'd like to take a look at the flight line. Hmm. Come out here quite often at night myself. Look how I'm lined up. Pretty, huh? Yeah. T-33s, I was going to start flying them next week in basic. Well, I'll never get up in the air anymore. There are second fiddle players in every orchestra, Eddie. Important guys, too. How badly do you want to fly, Eddie? I want it more than anything in the world. Well, I suppose you could have it, Eddie. Don't kid me, Major. I'm just starting to get used to the idea of selling TV sets when my enlistment's up. I hear you're assigned a Mitchell. I guess I'll live through it. I'll work on the engines and the other guys will fly them. Well, as my mother always said, time passes. It'll be over before I know it. If you're a member of an air crew, gunner, flight engineer, you also fly them.  Not that sick. If there's no relapse in six months and you can pass a physical, you'll qualify for flight crew, as far as the medics are concerned. No thanks. I'm not having any. I'm not building myself up for another letdown. Eddie, you're looking at these ships the way a mother looks at her kids. I know you. You've got to fly. You're going to fly. Okay.  I'll bet you an ice cream soda. You lose, Major. I'm not gonna leave myself open again. I'm not taking any more physicals. Eddie, I still say, want to bet.  Just luck. Hey, I hear you're getting out. That's right. You, uh, you thought about it? I mean, you could do all right for yourself around here. To me, the Air Force is flying. If I can't fly, who needs it? Flying? Well, what's so hot about flying? I mean, it's, that's all right, but that's not what made me join. I look for other things. Yeah? Yeah. Good job. You go up in grade, you go up in pay. Yeah, I learned to trade in this outfit. Huh? I was just talking to him over with the wife. You know, if I put in 20 years, I'll still be a young guy if I want to get out in this, there's the pension I'll get. Ah, you know Eddie, you gotta think of these things. Hey, is there a Sergeant Benson here? That's me, sir. I'm Lieutenant Miller from the Medical Detachment. I can talk to you, Benson. Yes, sir.  I think you know him. Major Gordon. Yeah, I met him. Now, the Major wrote me about you. You know, it's six months since you were discharged from the hospital. You're eligible for another exam. It's six months a week and two days. The Major was afraid you might forget. He asked me to remind you. Thank you, sir. Would I be seeing you for the exam? No, sir. Mind if I ask why not? No mood to fail again. You can't fail unless you try. I'm not interested, sir. Yeah. Well, there's no way to find me. Hey, Eddie, what do you want? Come on, let's take another look at the carburetor. Hey, Eddie. What do you want? Roll out of that sack and get over the PX on the double. What for? You've got a visitor over the PX. Oh, yeah, who? Why don't you go over and find out? Eddie, you hardly ever write. When you do, I hardly ever understand what you're talking about. It's all right, honey. When I get out, I'll take the job with your old man and we'll get married and everything's gonna be okay. No, Eddie. It won't be all right. If you can't fly, you'll never be all right. I got a letter from Joe. Remember him? He's got his nerve writing to my girl. No, stop it, Eddie. He says that you could take the exam for flight crew if you wanted. I can't pass it. Did you try? No. How do you know? If you want to know, I'm scared stiff. If I failed, I think I'd die. Okay. Let's forget it. Sure. What do they want from me? Do you think I could pass the exam? Yes, I think so. Well, I can't. Let's forget it. Attention. This news bulletin has just come in over the wire. Units of the United States Armed Forces have just been ordered to Korea to stop communist aggression. That's all we have on it now. There'll be a war as soon as it comes in. Eddie. Did you hear that? Eddie, will there be a war? I don't know, but it'll be something. I wonder if Joe and the rest of the gang are going to be sent. Margaret, what am I going to do? You'll do what they tell you, I guess. Bombers. They'll need more crews. Look, if I could only get on a crew, it's just as good after all you're up there. What are you talking about, Eddie? I've been in this thing almost two years. They spent a lot of time and money on me. I can't be a kid about this. Hey, Jack, Jack! Come over here, huh? Hey, what's the matter, Eddie? Margaret, this is Jack. Why don't you sit here? Tell Margaret the story of your life. Honey, wait here. Where are you going? There's a guy I have to see. Now, listen here. I have to take pressure, blood tests. Now, don't crowd me, Eddie. Yes, sir. When am I going to... Eddie, will you sit down and relax? Eddie, I give you my word of honor as an officer, as a doctor. I'm going to run this thing through just as soon as possible. Yes, sir. But when am I going to... Higgins, will you shove a thermometer in this guy's mouth? Sir, this is my fiance, Miss Margaret Smith. Eddie told me the news. Isn't it wonderful?  Thanks to you, sir. Thanks to me, nothing. You passed the exam because you were physically qualified. I just wrote down what I saw. Margaret's mom and dad will be in New York this afternoon for the wedding, and I... I need a best man, and sir, nobody's been a better man to me than you. I'd be glad to, Eddie. It's funny, huh? I had a wild kid idea I wanted to be a pilot. I didn't realize he's only part of a great team. As the major said, you're just as important to the orchestra if you play second fiddle. Oh, talking about Major Gordon, you lost a bet. That's right. I did. Lieutenant Miller, how do I send a guy a thousand miles from here in ice cream soda? Today, the men of your Air Force are soaring to new heights as they blaze a trail of air progress across the skies. And now is the time for you to join them and become an airman with a highly specialized career. As a member of this aerial defense team, you'll be entering a whole new world, a world of the future that offers free training in such fascinating fields as guided missiles, photography, radar, and a host of others. You'll wear the handsome blue Air Force uniform, a uniform that gains respect and admiration wherever you go. So for a wonderful future with good pay, liberal allowances, and truly one of the world's finest careers, become an airman in the United States Air Force. Talk it over with the friendly people at your local Air Force Recruiting Station. This has been another program on Proudly We Hail, presented transcribed in cooperation with this station. Proudly We Hail is produced by the Recruiting Publicity Center in New York for the United States Air Force Recruiting Service. This is Dick Hartley speaking, inviting you to tune in this same station next week for another interesting story on Proudly We Hail.


So in the the training progression gun table five and six of the the last two tables of crew certification So what this means is that in a tank or a Bradley you have a four three-person crew respectively That gets qualified to operate their vehicle and live fire conditions at the end of the gun table This is a major milestone on our training progression to become cohesive fit Lethal and discipline teams larger for the the Spartan brigade We're the final battalion to go through this this gunnery qualification Which makes us the the battalion that is closing out modernization for the Spartan brigade So at the conclusion of this event The Spartans will be the most modern brigade in the army every member of the crew on a tank is vital to the performance of that tank Including our 10 levels and especially our 10 levels our loaders and drivers NCOs have been Educating them and powering them Overall just the soldiers have been killing it out here across the board Everybody's weren't extremely hard to get us to where we are today. It's a really exciting opportunity for the last two years heard rumors that Second Brigade is going to be modernized. We're getting new tanks new equipment and then Shown up as a platoon leader right at the right time. I got to be a part of that which is super exciting Just making sure everybody's trained up on their platform experts in that craft So we can put the most modern combat Land combat platform through its paces make sure it works make sure we can work with it and get the most out of the new system Just a great opportunity to be So lethal the things that we can do for our country things we can do when we're called respond to anything With as much combat power as exists. That's a cool feeling There's no where you want to be as a soldier except right here right now


What is the last Western food that will become popular in China and what is the last Chinese food that will become popular in the West? Last Western food Maybe a really ripe, eddy stinky brie. I have an experience of trying to feed people in China And the other way around I think it would have to be something textural Well, I could mention one very extreme textural delicacy that I've only ever come across once in China And probably most people in China would need it, but the Sichuanese love their rubbery crunchy offal And that is the upper palates of pigs which they call tientang, paradise And I found it as a late night street stall covered in chili and Sichuan pepper oil But I don't think that will be a big hit in New York or London anytime soon


This is the second lecture on jet air craft propulsion. We are talking about air craft propulsion and we are talking about jet propulsion. So, when we talk about propulsion, the only thing we are going to talk about in this course in this lecture series is the jet propulsion and we are going to talk about aircraft propulsion. So, when we talk about jet propulsion, it is necessary that we keep an eye on the aircraft also, because all the time the propulsion is to meet the needs of an aircraft. And this is of course, very important that a propulsion needs to meet the needs of an aircraft at all times of flight. In this lecture today, we are going to talk about how the thrust is created to meet the needs of an aircraft and for which we need to understand how the jet propulsion system creates thrust and of course, how it goes about to begin with meeting the needs of an aircraft. Now, aircraft is a flying body. So, the needs of the flight of an aircraft is to be met with the propulsive system. Now, the propulsion system that we are creating essentially is something which goes with the aircraft. It is part of the aircraft. It is sometimes embedded within the aircraft. Let us take a look at how the thrust is created for flying. Flying is our main object and thrust creation is essentially for the purpose of flying. Now, for flying purpose, the first thing that you need to do is of course, make the aircraft take off from the ground. Now, if you keep an aircraft on the ground, you need to produce a motion for it to move and only then it can take off. There is a old saying that if you just keep an aircraft on the runway and expect a strong wind to flow over the wings so that lift can be created, that is not going to happen. So, the aircraft needs to be moved forward with a motion, quite a good bit of motion. At a reasonably high speed, the take off speed of an aircraft is typically higher or at least as much as a high speed automobile and only then necessary lift is created for the aircraft to take off, which means at the point of take off, the entire weight of the aircraft would need to be balanced by the lift creation and for that lift creation, a certain amount of lift needs to be created by the motion of the aircraft. Now, this is a continuous requirement from take off to climb and various other regimes of the flight. So, to meet this continuous requirement of thrust, the propulsion system that is created must provide thrust at all these operating conditions of the flight. Now, the forward thrust that is needed to be created is essentially created by two fundamental methods, one which is with the help of a propeller and propeller is what actually was used for flying the aircraft exclusively for the first 50 or 60 years of aircraft flight and last 50 or 60 years jet engine has been used for aircraft flight. Now, of course, both the systems are available for aircraft propulsion. So, we have a choice of two different kinds and in this course, we will be looking more and more into the jet aircraft flying or the jet engines and the other one the propeller we have discussed a little in one of the earlier courses. So, we will not be discussing the propeller based flight system, but we will be discussing essentially the jet engine based propulsion system. Now, let us take a look very quickly at what happens when an aircraft is flying and when an aircraft flies, the first thing that is required is its weight is to be balanced and this balance is created by the lift that is created by the shape of the body of the aircraft. Now, typically the shape of the wing is created to essentially balance the weight of the aircraft. This lift creation is dependent on the motion of the aircraft fairly high speed is required or high forward velocity is required to create the lift. Now, in the process of creating this forward motion, the aircraft moves through the air and when it moves through the air, it experiences a drag. The drag is the air flow over the whole body of the aircraft and which experiences certain amount of friction and other resistances. All these resistances put together is drag of the whole aircraft. The requirement of thrust from the propulsion system is essentially to overcome the drag. If at every point of your flight, you successfully overcome the drag at that particular point of flight, then you are in a position to create sufficient amount of lift to overcome the weight at that particular point of flight. So, at every point of flight, whether it is a steady flight or any other kind of flight, the balance of these forces is absolute requirement for the flight to be sustained. If any of these balances are not met, the flight would not be sustained. If the lift is not created to balance the weight, the aircraft will fall off the ground. If the drag is not met with the thrust, then the aircraft will either slow down or it will again fall off the air. Now, this is something which needs to be met primarily then with the thrust creation, which creates the motion. The thrust allows the body to overcome the drag and create the motion and then the motion allows the lift to be created. This lift is then used to overcome the weight of the aircraft and this is a continuous balance during the entire flight of the aircraft or any aircraft. So, which means if you take any kind of aircraft, every aircraft of its own has its own lift characteristics, it has its own drag characteristics. So, that particular aircraft will have to have a particular engine, which will meet its lift and drag characteristics under all flight conditions. So, which means that every aircraft needs a particular kind of engine, an unique engine and as a result of which lots of engines are required to meet various kinds of aircraft, small aircraft, medium size aircraft, large aircraft, low speed aircraft, high speed aircraft, supersonic aircraft, all of them need different kind of jet engines. Unless these jet engines are met and actually fixed on the aircraft during its flight and essentially designed to meet all these requirements of the aircraft, the aircraft will actually not fly. So, the propulsive system that we need is essentially to meet the unique requirements of the aircraft and as a result every engine is essentially an unique engine. It is very rare that you have engines that are convertible or can be easily changed from one version to another, that is very rare. Most of the engines that are created are unique engines. For steady and level flight, we know that the requirement is that weight is equal to the lift and thrust is equal to the drag. Now, this is what needs to be achieved when you are flying straight and level. Straight and level is when the aircraft is just cruising and this cruise requirement is that the all four primary forces are absolutely balanced. When however, you are making all kinds of other maneuvers, all kinds of other requirements of the thrust are required. Sometimes the thrust requires to be more. When you are climbing, the thrust required is more. When you are descending, the thrust needs to be a little less than what the drag is, so that the aircraft slowly descends. So, all these very subtle matchings are required to be done during the flight itself, quite often by the flight control system and the pilot and as a result of which the engine needs to be created to create the slight mismatches whenever they are required in a controlled manner. And these are the fundamental requirements of the propulsive system without which you cannot really have a sustained controlled aircraft flight. Now, let us take a look at what are the fundamental requirements that the thrust generation needs to be created. If you look at the thrust generation that needs to be done, there are two or three fundamental ways of looking at it. One is you can have a differential form of the thrust equation and that can be written in terms of the momentum change in a certain time and this momentum change across the body of the propulsive system can be written down in terms of d m v d t and m v is the momentum and d m v d t is the rate of change of momentum which creates a thrust. Now, d m v d t is something which means that you have to have a continuous control over the momentum change of the working medium. As we have discussed in the last class, the working medium in our case of course is the air. So, we need to have continuous change of momentum of air through the propulsive system for the thrust to be generated and this is to be done at every instant. So, at every instant the momentum change will create certain amount of thrust. The next way of looking at it is that you have acceleration of the mass. You have certain amount of mass that is available for thrust creation and this mass is accelerated by the propulsive system. So, that is another way of looking at thrust generation and this acceleration is measured through the propulsive system of the mass of air that is going into the propulsive system. So, acceleration of mass of activation is equal to the thrust generation. The other simple way of doing it is the thrust is written down in terms of the velocity change in a time period. The working medium that is air takes a finite amount of time for it to get inside the body of the propulsive system and then after a certain small time it goes out of the body. Within this time system from T 0 to T 1 the velocity changes let us say from V 0 to V 1 and this change in velocity of the mass of activation that is m over the time period from T 0 to T 1 can be said to be the generation acceleration of the entire mass of air or the change of momentum as we have written down before. So, the earlier two can now we recast in a manner in which the change of velocity in a given change of time is now equated to thrust generation. Now, let us understand the fact that we are talking about you know quantities which are acceleration, velocity, momentum and force. These are all vector quantities and so all of them have specific magnitude and direction which means the thrust that is that is generated would invariably have a certain magnitude which we require and it will have a direction. Now, this direction is important that direction in which the thrust is generated prime of AC the aircraft will move in that direction. So, directionality of the thrust is also extremely important because the aircraft will move in that particular direction whenever we need to have a change of direction of the aircraft the thrust generation would need to be controlled and this control would have to be exerted through the control system by the pilot. So, that the aircraft motion can then be controlled. So, the direction of generation of the thrust is also an important issue along with the magnitude of direction of thrust. Most of the time when the aircraft is flying the magnitude of the drag is indeed rearwards which means the thrust generation would have to counter that with a forward force. So, the forward force of the thrust generation is essentially a counter to the rearward drag generation that occurs due to the motion of the aircraft. Now, this directionality has to be kept in mind all the time during the aircraft flight. Now, let us take a look at what happens when you have thrust that is generated. Remember the thrust is essentially a mechanical force. Now, it is generated essentially through what we now know as a reaction of accelerating of a mass of gas. Now, this of course happens as per Newton's laws of motion specifically Newton's third law of motion and in the process we shall as we go along we shall see in fact all the laws of motion are essentially important or involved in the whole process of generation of thrust. Now, the gas or air is the working medium which is used as a fluid and when fuel is burnt inside the propulsive system we may call it gas. So, it goes inside the propulsive system as a pure air and then it goes out of the working propulsive system as a gas and then this is attached to the aircraft. So, when the engine experiences or creates a force the force is transferred to the body of the aircraft by virtue of the fact that the engine is rigidly attached to the body of the aircraft and hence the forward motion is created. Now, to create an acceleration of the gas we have the propulsive system which we call jet engine and we assume that a propulsive system is a machine which fundamental job of which is to accelerate the working medium which is air to begin with and gas as it goes out through the propulsive system. So, the propulsive system's fundamental job is to create a acceleration of the working medium through this propulsive system. Now, when that happens in a certain magnitude and in a certain direction we get thrust that is useful for flight of an aircraft. Now, we are dealing with a fluid and we are dealing with moving fluid which is in our case air or gas and you are trying to keep track of the mass if you are required to find out the quantity of the thrust you want to know what the mass of the working medium is. Keeping track of the mass is a little tricky because it is gone inside the propulsive system as we shall see over the course of this lecture. There are lot of things that are happening inside the propulsive system the jet engine and it is difficult to keep track of the mass per se. So, what quite often we talk about is mass flow rate not the mass per se, but mass flow rate and hence the important parameter in jet engine performance estimation is mass flow rate and we shall be talking about mass flow rate all along the course of this lecture series. Now, mass flow rate as you know already contains a time dependency that means a mass of air over a certain period of time is what we call mass flow rate and this time dependency is now built into the mass flow rate and as a result the momentum across the propulsive device can now be configured from the mass flow rate and the velocity change across the propulsive system. And as a result of which we can say that if we have a measure of the mass flow rate and if we have a measure of the velocity change across the propulsive system we can have a measure of the thrust force that is generated by this propulsive system. So, we shall be talking about mass flow rate and we shall be talking about velocity change across the propulsive system to take a measure of the thrust that is generated by this propulsive system. Hence, we can now write down that the thrust generated by the propulsive system can be written down in terms of thrust f, which is m dot v e, subscript e, which is the exit or exhaust momentum, minus m dot v subscript 0 that is the inlet or incoming momentum. So, the first term within the third bracket together create what is known as momentum thrust that is the change of momentum across the propulsive system can be called the momentum thrust. And this is what we are talking about earlier that the Newton's laws of motion essentially point towards creation of this momentum thrust due to the change of momentum across the propulsive system. And as we have just seen m dot of course, is the mass flow rate through the propulsive system and v is the velocity at a particular phase. In this case, the v is the velocity at the exit phase and v 0 is the velocity at the inlet phase and the difference between the two together give us what is known as thrust or more specifically momentum thrust. Now, m dot can change slightly from e to 0 to e because fuel has been added somewhere inside the propulsive system. So, that small addition of fuel could make a difference of m dot between 0 and e and that difference would have to be factored into this calculation to get a more accurate estimation of the momentum thrust. The second term that we see here is the pressure differential at the exit phase. Now, p 0 is the pressure that is the ambient pressure existing outside the body of the propulsive system, p 0 was there when the air came in, p 0 would be the ambient pressure when the air or gas is going out of the propulsive system and this differential creates a certain amount of thrust, a static thrust at the exit phase. So, it is multiplied by the exit area of the flow and this static thrust is an amount of thrust that is created at the exit phase of the propulsive system and this is something which is often the case when p e is not equal to p 0 or p ambient and this differential creates what is known as the static pressure thrust and this pressure thrust is created whenever the momentum thrust is not maximum. Let us understand this very a little more, when the momentum thrust is maximum the entire momentum change across the propulsive system would happen when the pressure at the inlet and pressure at the exhaust are exactly same that means p e would be same as p 0 or p a and this differential would then be 0, when this differential is 0 the momentum thrust would indeed be maximum. So, for maximizing the momentum thrust the second term the pressure thrust would have to be 0, when the second term is non-zero if it is positive the momentum thrust would be less than maximum and the combination of the two is also likely to be less than the maximum momentum thrust. We have to understand the fact that the second term is not an additional thrust you are getting on top of the momentum thrust, second term is coming at the expense of a certain amount of momentum thrust which is not happening and as a result of which you have a certain pressure thrust and hence our job as a propulsive device maker is to maximize the momentum thrust. When the momentum thrust is maximum the thrust is indeed going to be maximum. So, let us remember this that the momentum thrust is what our aim is sometimes quite often during the flight you do not have maximum momentum thrust, but you get certain amount of momentum thrust and a small amount of pressure thrust and this pressure thrust is created because the exhaust pressure is slightly on the higher side than the ambient pressure. It is entirely possible entirely possible that under certain circumstances the exhaust pressure may tend to go below the atmospheric pressure. Now, that is something which we would not like to happen because from this equation you can see that in such an event the second term would actually be negative it will be contributing negatively to the creation of thrust and we certainly do not want that and hence we should ensure that the second term is positive or 0 and should never be negative. So, we need to keep an eye on these two terms for creation of thrust. Let us take a look at a simple jet engine device. We have a compressor, we have a combustion chamber inside which we have a fuel burner and which actually injects a fuel inside the combustion chamber and the burning of the fuel creates the hot gas which is a mixture of air and burned fuel and then this hot gas goes through the turbine and then goes out in a jet and then this jet has high kinetic energy or momentum and hence the momentum change across this entire jet engine is created by the fact that the hot gas actually has a momentum substantially higher than the incoming cold air. The cold air that is coming in here is without any work being done upon it. Now, the work is done upon it first by the compressor which raises it to high pressure then the fuel burning raises it to high temperature and then this high temperature and high pressure gas goes to the turbine and then it the turbine extracts work out of it to run the compressor. So, turbine and compressor essentially have some kind of a closed loop within which certain amount of energy is continuously exchanged. So, certain amount of energy is taken out of this hot and high pressure gas to maintain this compressor turbine loop and then the remainder of the energy is then let out through the exhaust and that creates the high momentum jet. So, a certain amount of energy is always into this compressor turbine loop and it is being continuously taken out of this high energy gas and remainder of the energy is continuously going out as a jet for continuous creation of thrust. So, this is the fundamental mechanism by which a jet engine actually works. Now, there are various versions of jet engine. Let us take a quick look and see what is the fundamental concept of a jet engine. A jet engine is fundamentally a heat engine. Let us remember the fact that we are dealing with some kind of a heat engine. There is no question about the fact that it is based on fundamental concepts of a heat engine which indeed existed many of which indeed existed before the jet engines came in. So, all kinds of heat engine, the ice engines, the piston engines, the steam engine that have existed before that were fundamentally heat engines. So, the concept of making an engine by using heat is something that was known to mankind well before the jet engines came in and the theory of the heat engines have existed for more than 100 years and in the course of this lecture we shall be doing certain amount of concepts of thermodynamics and concepts of aerothermodynamics and how to deal with this fundamental issues of heat engine would be covered in the course of this lecture. Today, let us take a quick look at the fact that a jet engine is a heat engine and what happens is to execute a heat engine we need a process of combustion and to do the process of combustion we need oxidizer and we need fuel because the process of combustion is fundamentally a process of oxidation and so we need oxygen which in our case is being supplied by the air. Air is available in the atmosphere and that is the fundamental supplier of the oxidizer. Fuel is the amount liquid fuel that we carry with the aircraft and it is injected in through the propulsive system in the combustion chamber mixes with this air and creates the hot gas through the process of combustion. So, the process of combustion essentially when the fuel is burned mixes with the air it creates heat and this heat is created in the combustion chamber this is the fundamental concept of heat engine that heat needs to be created by burning of the fuel and burning of the fuel provides the fundamental energy which is then converted to some form of work. This heat converted to work is what we call heat engine and this heat engine is also used as a concept for jet engine. So, fundamentally we are talking about fuel being burned in a combustion chamber for creating heat. What is done in a jet engine is this heat is then mixed with the working medium air and air is elevated to high temperature and high energy gas is then exhausted and then we create get a jet thrust. Now, in the process of creating the jet thrust a good amount of heat is also exhausted with the exhaust air and this is actually a waste heat. So, that this heat is essentially wasted and it has no other use whatsoever and as a result of which the jet engine suffers a little in terms of heat efficiency or thermal efficiency and we shall have a measure of some of these things as we go along in the course of these lecture. So, combustion is the fundamental issue of jet engine operation and it is the it is the only energy input into the engine and that energy is what is harnessed in creating thrust. So, remember combustion is the energy input and that energy needs to be harnessed in some manner through the propulsive system in creation of thrust. So, our energy input into the system is actually combustion then how we use the combustion generated heat is what this lecture series is all about and finally, we create thrust for flight of aircraft. So, this is what we are going to talk about in the course of this lecture. Let us have a look at various kinds of jet engines that we will be talking about over the course of this lecture. Now, in the last lecture Prof. Pradeep had told you that there are so many kinds of jet engines. Let us take a quick look at a few of them and we will quickly discuss what we will be talking about over the course of this lecture. The first kind of jet engine is what is also known as pure turbojet or simply turbojet and this is what the name turbojet comes from the fact that it has a turbine and this turbine is essentially what is running the compressor and the turbine compressor is raising the air to a high pressure which is then used in the combustion chamber to burn fuel and then this high energy that is high pressure high temperature gas is let out and hence it is a turbine based jet engine and hence it is called a turbojet engine. The next variant that came along historically is what is also known as propjet engine and this is the kind of engine in which a fundamentally turbojet engine or turbo engine is essentially used to actually drive a propeller. Now, propeller as we know has been around for more than 100 years for making thrust for a craft but in this case a gas turbine based engine is used to run a propeller and create thrust. So, in this propjet version you get good amount of thrust from the propeller but you get certain amount of thrust from the jet and hence it is often called a propjet engine. The other version which is the most modern version of the jet engine is the fan engine or turbofan engine which has two different versions one is the unducted fan another is the ducted fan. Most of the turbofan engines that you see today are ducted fan engines the big fan that you see in front here is covered inside a duct and we shall see more of them as we go along in this lecture and some of the most modern versions that are coming up and are likely to fly in future are the unducted versions in which the big fan is unlikely to be covered with a duct. So, they are simply called unducted fans if they become little bigger than just a fan sometime they are called prop fans these have been mentioned in the last lecture. We shall be looking at some of these versions as we go along and we shall we have already seen and Professor Pradeep has already said that turbofan itself has a number of variants we shall be looking at some of these variants also as we go along. Now, in this particular turbofan version what happens is after the fan the cold air bypasses the main engine and goes out as a separate jet or a cold jet whereas, the main engine takes in the flow from the fan it takes it through the compressor and it takes it through all the combustion chamber turbine and then lets it out as a hot jet. So, in a typical turbofan you have two jets a cold jet and a hot jet the cold jet creates substantial amount of thrust in some versions of turbofan actually the cold jet creates more thrust than the hot jet and we shall be talking about some of these variants as we go along we may be actually even doing a few problems to actually quantify some of these thrust creations of certain particular kind of turbofan or turbojet engines. So, these are the variants that we will be talking about and these are the three fundamental variants of various versions of jet engine that are flying around today for flying the aircraft. Now let us take a look at what is simply known as a bypass engine bypass engine typically has a fan in front of it and this fan actually pressurizes the air which is coming in from the front and as the air is pressurized this pressurized air itself is laid out as a cold jet. So, that means the cold jet itself has a certain amount of pressure and this pressure is sufficient to create a cold jet. The rest of the air or the core air as it is quite often known goes through the process of compression combustion chamber and then turbine and then it goes out through the jet or core jet as a hot jet and as a result it creates a hot thrust. So, bypass jet is quite often used to have two kinds of jet the cold jet and the hot jet and this is what is often what we call also turbofan. So, all turbofan are typically bypass jet engines and we shall see somewhere within them there are various variants of bypass jet engines. There has been a bypass jet engine which was not a turbofan which was a supersonic jet engine and in this supersonic jet engine the air was bypassed after the intake and the intake created the pressurization at supersonic speeds and as a result the supersonic intake pressurization created sufficient pressure to create a bypass system. This was used in Concorde engine earlier. However, that particular aircraft and the engine has now been retired from service and that particular kind of engine is no more in action. So, all the bypass jet engines that we will be seeing are essentially some version or other of turbofan engines. Now, this is what we call a mixed flow bypass jet engine where the cold air does not create a thrust of its own. The cold air bypass is the main engine and then towards the end the entire bypass is also covered and under the cover it is guided on to the towards the exist exhaust of the jet engine where it mixes with the hot gas and the mixed flow is then let out as a jet exhaust. So, we have a mixed flow jet which is coming out of the exhaust a combination or a mixture of hot and cold gas and this is often used as a mixed flow bypass jet engine. These are often used in low bypass jet engines and quite often we shall see that these are fundamentally or typically used in various versions of military aircraft. So, mixed flow engines are normally used in military aircraft whereas, the earlier one that we saw the bypass engine which is unmixed flow let us say used typically used in various kinds of transport or passenger aircraft. So, these are the two fundamental variants of turbofan bypass engine that is used in aircraft all over the world in various kinds of aircraft. Let us take a quick look at a pure turbojet engine and this is with after burner. Now, one of the reasons I am trying to show you a pure turbojet engine with after burner is because there are very few engines now hardly any in which a turbojet engine works without after burner. So, all the engines turbojet engine that are working today are essentially with after burner long back turbojet engines used to work without after burner most of the turbojet engines pure turbojet engines that work today are with after burner. However, these engines can work when the after burner is switched off. So, these engines can work in two modes with after burner or without after burner. Now, let us take a quick look at how they function the flow come into the compressor it gets compressed to high pressure it goes to the combustion chamber fuel is added heat is added. So, now, we have a high pressure high temperature it goes to the turbine turbine as we have seen runs the compressor and then this is the loop that we are talking about the turbine compressor energy loop. So, certain amount of energy is continuously going into the loop and then the rest of the flow with the rest of the energy balance of the energy is now going into this long jet pipe inside which there is an after burner the job of the after burner is to raise to temperature of the this gas again because turbine has taken out some of the energy. So, it is to re energize to high energy all over again and then this elevated energy gas is let out through exhaust nozzle. So, whenever we have a after burner which technically quite often is referred to as reheat we would almost invariably would would have exhaust nozzle which would be looking something like this and this is a convergent divergent nozzle. So, when we have pure turbo jet engine with after burner we also invariably have a convergent divergent nozzle and we shall be talking about these kinds of nozzles or various kinds of nozzles in the nozzle chapter in this lecture series later on. So, the jet is created at high speed after letting it out through this exhaust nozzle and this is how the thrust is created in a pure turbo jet engine. The mechanical creation of thrust is slightly different from what we were talking about. We had looked at the thrust equation in which we said the thrust is created by the overall change in the momentum across the entire propulsive system. What we shall see now is thrust is indeed created by all the components and all the components that we are talking about the compressor, the combustion chamber, the turbine, the nozzle all of them actually participate in the process of thrust. If you consider it as a mechanical force and this mechanical force is indeed created by participation of all the components. Now in this we have just tried to show that the compressor actually creates a positive thrust that means a forward thrust by virtue of the fact that the pressure of the gas at the rear is higher. So, simple fluid statics will tell you that high pressure will exert a forward force towards the front. The combustion chamber also on the other hand experiences a forward thrust is most likely to experience a forward thrust and then the turbine is most likely to experience a rearward thrust which means the pressure over here is actually falling. So, pressure at the beginning of the turbine is higher than the pressure at the exit of the turbine and this again from fluid statics you would know would create a thrust in the rearward direction. Now it is the same in the nozzle where the pressure is actually falling by virtue of the fact the flow is an expanding flow it is the pressure is continuously falling. So, the fluid statics will tell you that the inside the body of the nozzle the force experience would is likely to be a rearward thrust. Of course, as the flow goes out the reaction force from the jet is the forward thrust. So, all of it together we should be getting a certain amount of forward thrust. So, when you compound all the forward thrusts and all the rearward thrust together the sum of the two should give us the net forward thrust which is what will make the aircraft fly. Let us take a typical example of how the forward thrust may be looked at. If you take a typical example we shall see that certain amount of forward thrust is created by the compressor certain amount may be created by the duct in between then a certain amount of thrust is created by the combustion chamber by virtue of integrating all the pressure inside the shape of the combustion chamber. This is a rather complex process and if you can do that successfully you get a set measure of the thrust actually created by the combustion chamber itself. And then of course, you have the thrust created by the turbine by virtue of the fact the flow is expanding through the turbine for creating work. And then of course, you have the jet pipe which experiences certain amount of thrust which may actually be forward thrust and then the nozzle the body of the nozzle the inside body of the nozzle again if you integrate the pressure inside you are most likely to get a rearward looking force. So, when you put all the forward gas loads or forward thrusts of created by the movement of the air or gas inside the body of the propulsive system you would get this much of forward gas load or forward thrust and this much of rearward gas load or rearward thrust and the combination or the sum of the two is what we call total thrust or net thrust that is created by this jet engine. So, it is a complex process by which the thrust is indeed created and to get a measure of it is quite a complex process. So, we have simplified the whole thing by saying that the momentum change across the whole engine gives us a thrust which is a reasonable good first cut measure of how much thrust is created. A more rigorous method is what we are looking at right now and as you can see it is a pretty complex process by which you get a very rigorous and more accurate estimation of what the thrust is likely to be. The first cut measure that we have talked about and we shall be talking about to the course of this lecture is a reasonable accurate measure of the thrust that is created by the jet engine. If we now take a look at the various fluid pressures that are existing inside the body of the propulsive system it will tell us why this component gas loads are being created. The component gas loads are obviously created by the existing pressures inside the body of the propulsive system. Now, this propulsive system has a gas or air to begin with which becomes gas later on and it flows through the engine and it experiences change of pressure as it flows. Let us take a look at the change of pressure that is occurring the pressure that change that is occurring it undergoes a huge change of pressure through the compressor then it has a small diffuser and then it goes through a combustion chamber and then it goes to the turbine it loses the pressure and then it goes through the jet pipe in which continuously losing its static pressure and in the nozzle it loses static pressure very fast and the difference between the two of course is the nozzle which creates the jet velocity which we say is actually giving us the reaction thrust. So, this is the process by which indeed the gas force is gas path is executing inside the jet engine and finally, letting out the jet exhaust allowing us to get a measure of the thrust. It is possible to actually very rigorously find out exactly what is happening and when you do find out it is possible to accurately estimate the thrust that is being created in the process of this execution of this path of the gas through the jet engine. So, all the mechanical loads that are being born by the components of the engine are indeed to be actually born by the various mechanical parts of the engine and as a result they have to be mechanically designed to withstand this forces you have bearings and struts and many other mechanical components they have to bear these forces which are coming on the various parts of the engine and these forces are then passed on to the aircraft. Now, these loads are variable and they are continuous during the operation of the engine that means during the entire flight of the aircraft and they are variable which means the loads are varying they are going up going down depending on how much thrust is being created and they have to be withstood all this time during the operation. The load bearing components which are the bearing struts they have to be designed to withstand these variable loads and installed to withstand these continuous forces because if they do not when you have transients when the load is suddenly going up when the aircraft is suddenly executing acceleration the thrust is suddenly more and these loads have to be born by the various components only then you pass it on to the body of the engine and then on to the body of the aircraft for the aircraft to actually execute its motion. So, these load bearing components would have to be designed to withstand these mechanical loads on a continuous basis and as we see these loads are actually variable loads. So, the mechanical design of these components is another business. We will not be talking about those things in the course of this lecture, but remember there is a whole lot of mechanical engineering and mechanical design inside this jet engine which we will not be talking about in the course of this lecture. Let us take a look at some of the issues that are involved here. The thrust that needs to be created we have takeoff we have climb we have cruise we have various maneuvers we have acceleration and deceleration and then the aircraft has to descend and then finally it has to land. So, during these various processes the thrust that is created would be different during takeoff it needs to be maximum thrust during climb it is likely to be slightly reducing during the process of climb cruise is normally very low thrust that is why you cruise there during maneuvers you have variable thrust during acceleration and deceleration it is variable to execute the acceleration and deceleration of the aircraft and then descend you are normally descending at a low thrust and during landing you have slightly lesser than the maximum thrust to balance the weight of the aircraft. So, all these requirements of the aircraft flight would have to be met by the propulsive system and only then you have a propulsive system that is actually useful to the aircraft. Let us take a quick look at a modern jet engine in which you have the compressors big fan over here you have a whole lot of compression system and then you have two groups of compressors one is the low pressure in which the average pressure is rather low hence it is called low pressure and then you have a high pressure compressor where the average pressure is high and hence you have a high pressure compressor you have the combustion chamber and then you have what is called high pressure turbine because the average pressure here is high and then you have a low pressure turbine, because average pressure here is low and then you have the hot jet and you have the cold jet. So, you have a cold jet and you are hot jet. So, this is a typical turbofan engine. How much the cold jet is and how much the hot jet is decided by the so called bypass ratio, which we will be talking about in the course of its lecture a little later in one of the lectures. And then you have the very low bypass engine in which it is almost a pure jet engine. A very small amount of air is bypassed, which is very small really. Most of the air goes through the compression system through the combustion chamber and a hot jet and then a very small bypass later on mixes with this hot jet and goes out through a very complex CD nozzle, very complex nozzle system. We shall be talking about some of these things later on in this course. So, this is a kind of very modern low bypass a nearly pure jet engine, which is used for military aircraft. So, these are the kinds of engines that we will be talking about and we will be talking about what is happening inside this through the compressor, through the combustion chamber, through the turbines and through the nozzles in great detail in the course of this lecture. In the next class, we will be talking about some of the jet engine performance parameters. When you want to have a good idea about how the thrust is created, how the thrust is to be calculated, we need to set down the parameters that we will be talking about. We talked about a mass flow parameter and now we will be talking about all the other parameters that you need to quantify as accurately as possible to get a measure of the thrust that is created to get a measure of the fuel efficiency with which the engine is operating and as a result of which we need to create a number of parameters with the help of which we can have a good estimation of the performance of a jet engine and this is what we will be doing in the next lecture.
