What is a turbojet?

Understand the Problem

The question is asking for a definition or explanation of what a turbojet is. A turbojet is a type of jet engine that converts energy from burning fuel into mechanical energy for propulsion. Understanding this involves knowledge of aerospace engineering and the principles of jet propulsion.

Answer

A type of jet engine that compresses air with a turbine-driven compressor, mixes it with fuel, ignites it, and produces thrust via high-energy gases exiting through a rear nozzle.

A turbojet is a type of jet engine where a turbine-driven compressor draws in and compresses air, which is then mixed with fuel and ignited in a combustion chamber, creating high-energy gases that produce thrust by exiting through a nozzle at the rear.
