Pictures of Real Jet Engines

	This is a closeup view of the business end of the Pratt&Whitney F100-Pw-220 turbofan engine. This engine produces 26,000 pounds of thrust in full afterburner mode. This shows the large afterburner section of the engine, with the flame holder rings (they look like the burner guard on a gas stove) in the foreground. The turbine blades of the high pressure turbine disk are visible just beyond the flame holder. This photo was taken looking in the engine of an F-15C Eagle. This engine is used in the F-15 (2) and in the F-16 (1).
	This is a closeup of the afterburner section of a General Electric F101-GE-102 turbofan engine used on the Rockwell B-1B Lancer. The B-1B uses four of these engines, with each engine producing over 33,000 pounds of thrust in full afterburner. Note the exceptionally large afterburner section, with the flame holder and turbine blades not quite visible in the shadows at the center of the photo.
	This picture shows the flame holders and turbines of the Pratt & Whitney TF33-P-3/103 turbofan engine used on the B-52 Stratofortress bomber. The B-52 uses 8 of these engines, each one producing 17,000 pounds of thrust. Of note here is the overall visual condtion of the engine. It doesn't look as neat or as clean as the previous two pictures. This engine has been run for many, many more hours than the ones on newer aircraft.
	This picture shows the intake section and ducting of the General Electric F404 engine used on the F/A-18 Hornet (A,B,C, & D Models). A special non-afterburning version of this engine is also used on the F-117A Nighthawk
