Talk:Components of jet engines

Splitting this Article Up?

I think this article serves a useful purpose in that it provides a single place, full of pretty good explanations, of jet engine components. However, I think the bulk of this article should be covered in separate articles for each component, with only a definition and a link left here. Does that make sense? -SidewinderX (talk) 15:25, 13 November 2009 (UTC)

I agree. I am about to edit 'Propelling nozzle', see talk,and see most of the content is in this article also. Having editted 'P n' I would need to delete the stuff in this article.Pieter1963 (talk) 01:21, 4 January 2014 (UTC)

DSI please

This is the obvious place to include the F-35 and J-20 DSIs, right? Hcobb (talk) 20:16, 29 December 2010 (UTC)

Reference 1 has bad link

The link for reference 1 does not exist. Pklemm (talk) 17:06, 17 March 2011 (UTC)

Nozzles section

The content of most of this section is identical to what was in main article "Propelling nozzle" until I changed P n recently, see Talk for reasons. I propose deleting this section's content leaving not much more than a one-liner and its Main article ref.Pieter1963 (talk) 21:00, 26 March 2014 (UTC) DonePieter1963 (talk) 23:31, 26 March 2014 (UTC)

Spools

Can we PLEASE get a section that discusses what a "spool" is, i.e. a "twin-spool engine", and some redirects to bring people to this page. I just left a comment on the page on Turbofan about the fact that it doesn't explain anywhere what a "spool" (or shaft) is, and that if you search for "twin-spool", you ended up on a disambiguation page for "spool" that doesn't say anything about "spools" as a jet engine component. Whenever I find and article that says an engine is "twin-spool", there is nothing to link to, except "turbofan", yet it doesn't explain it on that page either. I only found this page by accident a few minutes later, because I never would have thought to search for a page called "Components of jet engines" (I would have assumed the page on turbofan would have had a link to it somewhere if it existed, even if I had thought of it). When I saw it, I said to myself "oh, so there is a page that probably explains what a spool it, and I can just link to that from now on". Only I find that it doesn't say anything about "spools" on here either. It would be nice if one could search for "twin-spool turbofan" and end up on either "turbofan" or this page, and if either page actually said anything about it. That way I could actually link to one of the two pages whenever I find an article that mentions that an engine is a "twin-spool" or "two-shaft" turbofan, but offers no clue as to what that means. Right now it's like an beginner trying to learn about internal combustion engines, and finding a bunch of references to "pistons", but not a single page that actually says what "piston" means in automotive terms..45Colt 05:40, 11 August 2015 (UTC)
