The TRI60 demonstrated start-up and acceleration to cruise thrust in less than five seconds entirely by means of the windmilling effect created by ram pressure. At launch, the only engine-starting actions required are the opening of the fuel cock and the firing of two pyrotechnic igniters in the combustion chamber.

Dans un réacteur double-flux, une partie de l'air, après passage dans le compresseur est utilisé pour refroidir les parties extérieures de la zone de combustion et participer à la poussée: pour augmenter celle-ci on peut injecter ou enflammer du carburant dans le canal d'éjection propre à ce flux.
