turbojet

A turbojet is a type of jet engine that generates thrust by sucking in air, compressing it, mixing it with fuel, and then igniting the mixture. The high-speed exhaust gases are expelled out the back, pushing the aircraft forward due to Newton's third law. It operates efficiently at high speeds and altitudes, making it suitable for fast aircraft like fighter jets and commercial airplanes. The process involves continuous airflow through the engine, with no external moving parts like propellers, enabling smooth and rapid flight.
