Jet Engine Performance
In fixed-wing aircraft driven by one or more jet engines, the performance of the jet engine is important to the operation of the aircraft and includes measurement of thrust, fuel consumption, noise and engine emissions.
The thrust, noise and emission elements of the performance of a jet engine are of vital importance in the takeoff phase of operation of the aircraft. The thrust and fuel consumption elements, and their variation with altitude and airspeed, are of vital importance in the climb and cruise phases of operation of the aircraft.
