Abstract
It is acknowledged that turbojets were built with the traditional objective to run aerospace
machines. A Turbojet Engine is an air-breathing engine. It produces thrust by ejecting highenergy
gas stream from the engine exhaust nozzle.
For a while now, Turbojet Engines do not only see operation in the air; they have also become
highly essential on the ground. They are mostly used in generating electrical power in the Oil
Fields, Mining Sectors and the Heavy Manufacturing Industries. Some Agricultural Industries
employ the high heat energy generated from the nozzle of a Turbojet Engine as heat source for
drying purposes.
Software tools for designing and fabricating machines were some of the major tools used in this
project for the construction of the Turbojet Engine. The built Turbojet Engine generated a
maximum Thrust of 3.5N, at 100000 Revolution Per Minute (RPM) at a Temperature of 780OC.
