What is the temperature of a jet engine?
Today’s commercial jet engines can reach temperatures as high as 1,700 degrees Celsius (that’s 3,092 degrees Fahrenheit) because of the highly effective thermal barrier coatings that line the inside of the chamber.

What planes use CFM56-7B engines?
The CFM56-7B is the exclusive engine for the Boeing Next-Generation single-aisle airliner. In total, over 8,000 CFM56-7B engines are in service on 737 aircraft, making it the most popular engine-aircraft combination in commercial aviation.
What does CFM stand for in engines?
cubic feet per minute
This is expressed in cubic feet per minute (cfm). It is important to understand that cfm has nothing to do with fuel.
What is T4 for the CFM56-5C?
Your question indeed boils down to: What is T4 for the CFM56-5C? tells us the T4 temperature is 1633 K, that is 1360 °C. Thanks for contributing an answer to Aviation Stack Exchange!
What is the temperature of the air leaving the combustor?
The exit of the combustor (which is also the turbine nozzle guide vane leading edge) is station 4. In this nomenclature, Tn is the temperature at station n, Pn the pressure, etc. As an example, the sensor seen in the fan inlet of many turbofan engines is commonly referred as T12 or P12T12 sensor.
Why does the fuel burn at 1500 Celsius?
I was wondering as I could only find out that the fuel burns at around 1500 Celsius but this can’t be the same as the air temperature because the air/fuel ratio isn’t 1:1.
What’s the temperature of gas in a jet engine?
Quick answer: At the design point considered, which is assumed to be takeoff conditions, a CFM56-5C combustor raises gas temperature to 1360°C (the share of the compressor in this raise is about 600 °C).
