Q
what does a plane engine look like
I'm a seasoned industrial engineer with a keen interest in machine learning. Here to share insights on latest industry trends.
Aircraft or plane engines can vary depending on the type of the aircraft. Large commercial jets usually use turbofan engines. These are large usually cylindrical in shape and housed under the wings or at the rear of the aircraft. They have a large spinning fan at the front, followed by a core which includes the compressor, combustion system, and turbine, often visible when looking straight into the fan.
On the other hand, smaller aircraft or private planes might use piston engines that look more rectangular box with protruding cylinders, very similar to a car engine. It's often located at the front of the aircraft with a propeller attached to it.
Jet engines, used in military and some commercial aircraft, are sleek and narrow, often integrated into the body or wings of the aircraft for aerodynamic efficiency.
Keep in mind that engine housing and external components are often painted the same color as the aircraft, but internal components usually remain a metallic color due their material (typically various types of high-strength metal alloys).
