Ever wondered how a jet engine can survive 1500 °C combustion without turning into a molten puddle? This video walks through basic engine operation, the evolution of jet turbines, and a behind-the-scenes tour of Rolls-Royce’s precision casting facility, where they churn out these blazing-hot parts.
It then dives into the materials magic—nickel superalloys strengthened by gamma-prime precipitates, edge-dislocation tricks, single-crystal turbine blades, internal cooling channels and grain selection—that let these engines fly hotter (and more efficiently) without melting.
