Ok, got another question for you in the know...
What sort of pressures are reached within the combustion chambers of a typical modern jet airliner (say the RB 211 on the 75 or CFM 56 on the A320, etc). AND, what are the differences between max power and idle.
Oh oh oh, almost forgot, I know on most airliners (spec 757 cos that’s what I remember) one has the option to activate the ignitors(?), so that they effectively ignite at pre-set intervals for extreme conditions (jolly chilly days and high water intake I guess), can any of you lucky 75, 76 captains etc enlighten me as to their exact function, do they work like I think they do and under what circumstances the would be used.
Once again, thanks for any replies, you’re a great bunch.
