Jet engines

Jet engines are powerful machines used in aircraft to propel them forward. They work by taking in air, compressing it, mixing it with fuel, and igniting the mixture. This creates high-speed exhaust gases that are expelled out the back, pushing the plane in the opposite direction, adhering to Newton's third law of motion: for every action, there's an equal and opposite reaction. Jet engines can be turbojet, turbofan, or turboprop, with turbofans being the most common in commercial aviation due to their efficiency and quieter operation. They are vital for modern air travel, enabling fast and long-distance flights.
