A
turbine engine is a type of internal combustion engine that uses rotating blades to generate power. These engines basically work by sucking in air, mixing it with fuel, and then igniting it to create an explosion. This explosion turns a set of blades called turbines, which in turn provide power for various applications, such as generating electricity or propelling an aircraft.
