1. Small Gas Turbine Engines: Small gas turbine engines, often used for auxiliary power units (APUs) in aircraft or for industrial applications, typically operate at RPMs ranging from 20,000 to 50,000 RPM.
2. Turboprop Engines: Turboprop engines, which combine a gas turbine engine with a propeller, operate at RPMs ranging from 10,000 to 20,000 RPM.
3. Turbojet Engines: Turbojet engines, primarily used in older military aircraft and some civil applications, typically operate at RPMs ranging from 10,000 to 20,000 RPM.
4. Turbofan Engines: Turbofan engines, the most common type of jet engine used in modern commercial and military aircraft, have RPMs ranging from 10,000 to 20,000 RPM.
5. Turboshaft Engines: Turboshaft engines, used in helicopters and other rotorcraft, operate at RPMs ranging from 10,000 to 20,000 RPM.
It's important to note that these RPM ranges are general estimates, and specific engine models may have different maximum RPMs. Additionally, engine manufacturers may impose operational limits or redlines that restrict the actual RPM range for safe and efficient operation.
