Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. In aeronautical engineering, the term overall pressure ratio is defined as the ratio of the stagnation pressure as measured at the front and rear of the compressor of a gas turbine engine. Generally speaking, a higher overall pressure ratio implies higher efficiency, but the engine will weigh more, so there is a compromise. Early jet engines had limited pressure ratios due to construction innaccuracies of the compressors and various material limits. For instance, the Junkers Jumo 004 from World War II had an overall pressure ratio 3.14:1. The immediate post-war SNECMA Atar improved this marginally to 5.2:1.
