Turbine engines are a type of internal combustion engine that convert fuel into mechanical energy. They work by drawing in air, compressing it, mixing it with fuel, and igniting the mixture. This process produces high-speed exhaust gases that spin a turbine, generating thrust or power. Turbine engines are commonly used in aircraft, power plants, and some vehicles. There are two main types of turbine engines: jet engines and gas turbines. Jet engines are primarily used in aircraft for propulsion, while gas turbines are often found in power generation facilities. Both types are known for their efficiency and ability to produce a large amount of power relative to their size.
