The PT6 engine has 2 igniters how does the flame expands around if it seems like the flame may occur only in 2 spots? (It does because it simply consumes gas n fire expands around? Wouldnt that create a higher temp at the igniter points? Isnt the whole purpose of the annular liner to have even temp? )
The C380 carries 550,000 lbs of fuel (250 metric tonnes) supposedly. In the wings, supposedly. Think about that for a minute. If any combustible fuel is added to these engines, its not stored; but created via an on demand hydrolysis of water condensed due to temp change. I think these things are solely operated on compressed air. Started with air, not fuel; and no real need for such based on simple thermodynamics of the design.
Super helpful. Thanks 👍
very helpful thanks

Ah, quite helpful! thanks alot!
Yo! We put a toroid in a toroid, yo!
Good

whats a C380?
You dumb or something ?
