Jet engines are designed to produce sufficient power to lift the aircraft off the ground and keep it airborne during flight. To achieve this, they must run at very high speeds. The speed of the engine, in revolutions per minute (RPM), is generally expressed as a percentage of the maximum allowed rotation speed<\/a>. Smaller engines run at much greater speeds than larger engines.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
