And what does

This question was posed to me, "what does the N stand for in N1, N2"?
I don't ever remember reading about it........

rotational speed, usually in percentage of maximum Revolutions per minute, for instance 82%. N1 would be the low pressure compressor and N2 would be a higher pressure compressor on a multi spool engine.

Aiplane engines should be fire breathing, smoke generating behemoths.
The only things that water pumps do on airplanes should be to circulate the blue juice in the lavatories.

I understand what N1/N2 is.... And you are saying that the N just stands for roational? Then why wouldn't they have made it R1/R2?
Are we sure that there isn't a more scientific name for the N? Like P3 is pressure bleed air, V is velocity, etc......
Thanks!

N followed by a number letter combination indicates it is an aircraft registered in the United States. N1 and N2 are both aircraft registered to the US Department of Transportation.

If Ng is Gas Generator Speed, What is NFg?

How can you land an airplane on water?
Wouldnt you Water on Water?

Silverplate.
I understand the North American registration of aircraft. The "N" that I was asking about is related to turbofan engines. The fan speed is refered to as N1, the turbine section is refered to as N2.
A friend of mine at Rolls Royce who works with this sort of thing had this to say, " Control law has used the letter N to be the designation for engine RPM. Might have been a reference to Newton's law, but........."
So it is still a mystery.
And NFG can be New F_ _Ken Guy too!
