Types of Aircraft Engines and Working Principle Part 2 of 2

Aviation Turbine Engines are manufactured by various companies that include Rolls Royce and GE. Given below are some of the pictures of Turboprop Engine and Turbojet based Turbofan Engines manufactured by GE and Honda Collective.

All Images in this post are from the GE Aviation Turbine Engine Handbook Datasheet.

Previously, I have thrown light on Gas Turbine Engines, I now bring fore, some topics related to Helicopter Engine and it's anatomy:
A Helicopter is also an aviation medium, but is a rotor craft, unlike the aeroplane, it uses the rotor blades causes upward thrust and lift. Given below is the blow-up of the Helicopter Anatomical Parts:

The last thing I want to discuss is about how the aeroplane turns in the air during the flight. The wings of the plane are equipped with the Gas Turbine Engines as discussed earlier in Part 1. Moreover, the wings are also equipped with flaps that cut through the fluid (here air), at different speeds called as Ailerons. These flaps serve the purpose as to the differential gears on an automotive engine. The Ailerons serve the plane to the three axes of freedom: Roll, Pitch and Yaw.

The Figure below depicts the same:
The Ailerons help the plane to Roll and Pitch as per the flap movements, while negotiating a turn while on flight
