— Working Jet Engine —

— Overview —

The Working Jet Engine is a hands-on museum exhibit that lets visitors experience how a modern airliner engine operates.

Using simple controls, authentic engine sounds, digital instrumentation, and a moving scale model, visitors can start, operate, and shut down a simulated jet engine while exploring the fundamentals of jet propulsion, all in a safe environment with no fuel, high temperatures, excessive noise, or exposed moving parts.

Utility and Design Patent pending.

— Animation —

A 55-inch 4K commercial display presents an animation of the engine interior, clearly visualizing airflow, compression, combustion, and thrust.

The animation makes the invisible visible and introduces one of the engine’s most important features: two main rotating sections that move independently at different speeds. Visitors can watch this movement and connect it to the changing sounds heard during engine startup and shutdown.

— Visitor Experience —

  • Press START.

  • Watch the engine spool up with realistic sound.

  • Control engine power using the throttle lever.

  • Observe live engine instruments and animation of how it works.

  • Press STOP for a realistic shutdown sequence.

  • The exhibit automatically returns to standby after a long period of inactivity.
