Abstract
An aerodynamic reaction engine, a jet engine, is an internal combustion engine that produces thrust through jet thrust. A jet engine is an important power unit used in aviation and spaceflight, which generates thrust by pushing air in reverse. In recent decades, various developments and improvements have significantly enhanced the efficiency and performance of jet engines. These engines are divided into turbojets, turbojets, turboprops, turboshafts, and ramjets. This article will begin with an introduction to the different types of jet engines and then detail the design, benefits, and issues of the CFM International CFM56/LEAP engine. Finally, there is some description of the future of jet engines, including materials, greater efficiency, and applications in space exploration. The development of the jet engine dates back to the 1930s. British inventor Frank Whittle and German inventor Hans von Ohain developed the first jet engines independently. Jet engines were widely used during World War II and have been continuously improved and developed. The modern jet engine has become the main power unit of commercial and military aviation, and its structure and performance have also been greatly improved.
