| Jun 5, 2018 at 5:42 | comment | added | Pilothead | The question is about the operation of an aircraft engine. It doesn't turn into another topic just because OP's assumptions are incorrect. It does make it unclear what is being asked, and that needs clarification. If he asked about mass flow instead of meters it might work. | |
| Jun 5, 2018 at 1:04 | comment | added | Ron Beyer | I'm voting to close this question as off-topic because the premise of the engine needing to travel a certain distance to be able to consume air for combustion is incorrect, therefore any answer would have to rewrite the question entirely. | |
| Jun 5, 2018 at 1:03 | comment | added | Ron Beyer | It doesn't have to travel any distance to suck in air, otherwise you'd never be able to start a jet engine until you were moving. There are engines that need a certain volume of air moving into them before they will start (ramjets/scramjets). | |
