Hello all,
I had a few questions about turbines and how they work, but have never delt with thm nor understand them really. I am a 3D modeler working on a personal project and was hopeing to get some help on a design I was looking into. I'm creating a 3D model of a jet aircraft that has forward sweeping wings and a single jet engine built into it. Looking into turbines I know that they are designed to suck in air and push it out creating thrust (a very crude explaination of it) I have a design that the jets intake basically acts as two seperate intakes funneling into one exit point for the engine sorta like a Y set up both on either side of the cockpit pulls in the air with two smaller turbines and forces it out through one engine like a funnel. Thats where I wonder if scientifically speaking that makes any sence at all? All the systems I've ever seen have a long tube to push everything through and I'm doubting that with doule intakes that it could go into one engine. I wanted to ask about it at the very least and get ome input on my design with the science behind it.
I'm guessing that if i go witht he sorta set up i want i would have to use a system more like an f-16 where it has one large intake that runs the engine. I'll post some pics of the design thus far and see if any of you kind folk have the patients to at least give me a basic understanding of how it would have to be designed to actually function.
thank you for your time
