3D Printed Jet Engine - Part 4: How Jet Engines Work
305In Part 4 of this mini-series, discusses how jet engines work.
I have a BS in Aerospace Engineering from Virginia Tech and an MS in Mechanical Engineering from The Ohio State University.
I work as an engineer on the design of jet engines. Being I enjoy making informative videos, I thought it would be fun to try a non-Gears video an talk about these fantastic machines!
I don't plan to do a ton of non-Gears videos...hopefully we'll be back once Gears 5 news starts kicking off!
