jet aircraft
Jet aircraft are airplanes powered by jet engines, which generate thrust by sucking in air, compressing it, mixing it with fuel, and then igniting the mixture. The explosion produces a high-speed jet of gases expelled backwards, pushing the plane forward due to Newton’s Third Law. Unlike propeller planes, jets can fly faster and higher, making them ideal for commercial travel and military use. They rely on advanced aerodynamics and materials to maintain stability and efficiency at high speeds and altitudes. Jet aircraft are essential for rapid global transportation and defense, combining powerful propulsion with sophisticated engineering.
