Jet Engine

In my second year of university, I found a picture on Google that served as the source of inspiration for this turbojet model, and it required significant time and effort to create. My goal was not only to capture the look of a real turbojet engine but also to make the model practical and functional. The most challenging part was organizing and shaping the various turbines to ensure optimal airflow through the engine. Each turbine had to be slightly different to achieve maximum efficiency, so I couldn’t simply copy and paste the design. This led to extensive research on turbine fin shapes and their impact on airflow.

One of the key design challenges was ensuring that the turbine at the rear of the engine was properly connected to the compression turbine, as this is essential to how a turbojet engine operates. This project pushed me to explore the intricacies of turbojet mechanics and improve my modeling techniques.

The experience gained from building this turbojet model greatly enhanced my understanding of CAD software, and this knowledge proved invaluable in my exams and coursework.
