1) On a turbofan engine, what is N1?
A. The speed of the engine core
B. The speed of the engine fan
C. The speed of the exhaust gas
D. The speed of the bleed air

N1 is the speed of the first spool of a two-spool engine, which on

a turbofan is the big fan on the front.

2) Where does bypass air go in a turbofan engine?

A. Through the engine core
B. Around the outside of the engine cowling
C. Through the leading edges of the wings
D. Around the engie core, inside the cowling

bypass air goes around the engine core, but still passes through
the engine cowling. In most modern high-bypass turbofans,
bypass air accounts for the majority of thrust produced by the
engine.

3) In the compressor section of a turbofan engine, which of the following

parts spin?
A. Rotors
B. Stators

the rotor blades spin around, and the stators are static.
4) How much does 1 gallon of Jet A fuel weigh?
A. 6 pounds
B. 6.4 pounds
C. 6.8 pounds
D. 7.5 pounds
E. 7.9 pounds
F. 8.3 pounds

Jet A weights 6.8 pounds per gallon.

5) Almost all modern turbofan engines on airliners have:

A. Axial flow compression
B. Centrifugal flow compression

axial flow engines compress air by moving it through smaller and

smaller stages of the compressor.

6) What is a compressor stall?

A. A disruption of airflow through the turbine engine
B. When stage 1 of the engine stops moving completely
C. When all stages of the engine stop moving completely
D. When fuel stops flowing into the combustor

a compressor stall is a local disruption of airflow in the engine.

They can range in severity from a small drop in power to a
complete loss of compression.
