Caption
In a typical jet engine, air is drawn in and compressed, which feeds the combustion chambers. As fuel is burned in the compressed air, the heated gas expands and is expelled out throught the exhaust, which drives the turbines. The turbines are responsible for driving the vanes in the compressor section.

  • Support vector version I'm way ahead of you on this one. At the risk of turning FPC into the graphics lab, I drew a vector version of this image. Big machines are awesome! Jeff Dahl (Talk • contribs) 07:22, 16 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Question. Is it just me, but would this make more sense with the intake at the right and the exhaust at the left? I know ultimately it's the same information, but it just seems to be the way images are normally shown. --jjron (talk) 07:30, 16 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
    • About half or more of the images in jet engine have the intake on the left, and I sort of like it better this way. Jeff Dahl (Talk • contribs) 07:40, 16 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

  • Support SVG, oppose raster version - nice work, Jeff Dahl! --Sean 22:55, 16 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support SVG very well done. I prefer it left to right (maybe because I'm right handed?). Cacophony (talk) 05:36, 17 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support SVG; Oppose Original. —αἰτίας •discussion• 19:22, 18 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose both, but I'll support the SVG version if you reduce the stroke width on the compressor fan blades. -- I. Pankonin (t/c) 04:41, 19 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
