  1. Are you refering to the tips on the ends of the compressor blades, fan blades, wing tips?

    If it's compressor or fan, then see above answers.

    If you're talking about the wings, they are Winglets.  They create an artificial "thrust" and just use the vortex generated at the tips of the wings into a form of usable energy.


  2. On a prop plane, it produces thrust which gives the wings lift. On a jet, there are turbines, which suck in air to compress with fuel, when ignited this produces thrust. my dad was an

    F-15 E mechanic for 30 years.

  3. Propeller, fan, compressor, or turbine blade tips?

  4. blade tips are exactly, what it implies. They are the tips of the blade(the fan) which sucks in air into the jets propulsion system. Also the term can apply to the blades on a prop as well.
