This is an in-depth explanation of how the engines work.
Engines
Most modern day planes use turbofan jet engines, these are powerful, fuel efficient, and quiet. There are four main parts of turbofan engines, the intake, compressor, combustor, and exhaust. The intake sucks in air and pushes it into the engine, the compressor compresses the gas and heats it, the combustor mixes the air with fuel and ignites it, then the exhaust lets the high pressure gas out at high speeds, creating thrust.
How do engines work in rain?
If these engines require fire to work, then how do they work in rain? The engines have a built in "bypass duct" where most of the water is pushed to. Even when water gets into the engine, it gets vaporized into steam which adds more mass and more thrust. But what happens if something like a bird were to hit the engine? Firstly, the engines are made of very strong materials like titanium, they are also designed to fail in a controlled way, bending or breaking in a way that does not effect the
