  1. Human flight: Scaled Jet engine Jet Engines achieve propulsion from thrust created by hot gas exiting the Brayton Cycle. Gene Messercola, Pete Costigan, IntesarHoque

  2. Components of a Brayton Cycle: 1→2: Isentropic Compression 2→3: Reversible Constant Pressure Heat Addition 3→4: Isentropic Expansion 4→1: Reversible Constant Pressure Heat Rejection (Exhaust and Intake in the open cycle) • Air is compressed, mixed with fuel, burned, and expelled through a turbine to perform work. • Lab analysis includes the calculation of work and efficiency of the turbine and compressor as well as Carnot efficiency.

  3. Our Experiment • Thrust to lift a human /Thrust of the jet turbine • Analyze heat transfer of the turbine • Determine if a scaled model is viable heat wise • What sort of material would be needed to insulate from the body • Is this feasible for personal flight?
