IGNIT3 is a modular computational framework for the thermodynamic analysis and optimization of turbojet and turbofan engines under realistic operating conditions. Based on fundamental thermodynamics and fluid mechanics, it accounts for non-ideal gas effects and supports parametric and off-design analyses, enabling preliminary design, optimization, and educational applications.
