Austin left out a most important detail, which is the theory of convergent/divergent ducting because his explanation doesn't explain a ramjet which has no moving parts at all and yet acts the exact same way from a physics standpoint. I think he was just trying to simplify it for the laymen out there. But as a former military jet engine mechanic I can tell you that it's a little more complicated than he's describing.. the air does not escape out the front because the divergent ducting of the diffuser section prevents it from doing so. But if the pressure in the combustion section rises to the point where it overcomes the pressure wall of the diffuser section then the flow does go out the front and is what is known as a compressor stall. this was actually a big problem of the original TF 30 engines on the F-14 because if fuel was added to quickly when a pilot pushed the throttle forward then pressure rose much too fast and before the air could expand out the turbine it overloaded the compressor/diffuser causing compressor stall.
Love your video, but you need to correct something in your analogy about force. You don't push a car when it runs out of gas. You get a can of gas and pour it in the tank. You push a Tesla when the battery runs down. Xplane forever! Thanks for all your hard work.
You are the first one who could give ma an answer to this question I carried around for decades, and you did so with the most flamboyant style...! I know, I could have collected all the necessary data myself and put it all together myself, but then I probably would have also created a flight simulator that would compete with x-plane...lol
Excellent videos; greatly appreciated everyone of them. Can you make another great video please? When elevation happens the speed is not always the same. Can you explain in a video, how the temperature affects the climb and speed in a GA aircraft when the air is cold, warm, or hot. Greatly appreciated, J ... Simmer
2:29 _"30 C° for the Europeans"._ And for the South Americans too¹. Don't forget us, we also fly X-Plane down here. 1. Actually, for most of the world's population.
Thanks for explaining things in such a memorable way! Whilst watching I realised that the question of why doesn't the pressurised air come back out the front of the jet engine has quietly bothered me for many years, and it is nice to have that one cleared up at last!
It looks interesting at first that both pressure and temperature decreases while velocity increases, but i guess the velocity is the net particle velocity to the back of the engine, to the lower pressure area. So the bumm's energy to the particles is directed towards the back by the pressure.
Hello. I really enjoy watching your videos... Because this is official channel of your X-plane sim I would like to ask you to not quit over vr implementation Please. I think that most of virtual pilots here use only or mostly the best vr headset like Varjo or HP G2. This are working the best not on steam vr but on OPEN XR. Could you be so kind and add normal smooth working this exactly technology to X-PLANE 12 please.
Seems Thomson has been promoted from marketing director to laminar's official test dummy, he will need to stich some measurecross labels on his body, so we can track his movements and copy it into planemaker. oops, that would be motion capture. maybe wait for x-plane 13 or so.

Sounds like someone who's studied Bernoulli ;)
welp time for him to refilm this for the 3rd time
Your explanations are awesome, very well demonstrated - I love it !!

Or you call a tow truck who brings gas and a generator and charge you up enough to go to a charger for a couple hours 😂
Excellent presentation. Probably the best I've seen on the subject.
7:37 furthest guy to the left is swiss001
Man I wish Austin was my physics professor back in the days. This guy is amazing !
Definately a science / physics lecturer in a former life.............love your work Austin..
Love it, explained it well enough for me to follow you throughout the entire video!
Love the red face! All in the interest of science. Great explanation.
Loving your channel...
Great video mr. Meyer.
Thank you so much for sharing.
Cheers Mark.

if only I were your student, sir!
Did you enjoy meeting Swiss 001
Such an informative video and the part where you collected the data was pretty funny :D

Well done, AustIn.😅✈🏖👍
Turbans are great for engines
I don't know why but you just reminded me if this old Howard Stern prank call 😂

Did you meet Swiss001 there?
This guy's video is good but i can't get over that thumbnail of a sweaty red faced guy...
What does 'N' stand for then?
I always wanted to know this exact thing!
is swiss001 there?
Yes

AGK subject. :)
That’s you for answering the question I have been wondering
I like Swiss001
Did you see his face turn red and head got messy?
Funny
