JET ENGINE, FLYING OBJECT, AND OPERATION METHOD OF JET ENGINE
A jet engine has an inlet 11 configured to introduce air, and a combustor 12 having a fuel injection port 30a that injects a fuel, and configured to combust the fuel injected from the fuel injection port 30a by using the air. The combustor 12 has a separation section 14 defining the air passage FA through which the air flows, between a rear end 15 of the inlet and the fuel injection port 30a. A plurality of turbulent flow generating sections (20;25) are arranged in the separation section 14 to makes the air flow turbulent. Each of the plurality of turbulent flow generating sections (20;25) contains a member (21;22;25B) which can restrain the turbulence of the air flow by moving or disappearing. It can be prevented that a high-pressure region reaches the inlet so that the thrust of the jet engine is reduced.
