Jet engines work by taking in air, speeding it up and discharging it through the rear. It accomplishes this task by ducting the air through different stages. Every stage compresses the air further. When the compressed air is ignited it is passed through the last stage which is another turbine which in turn is connected to and spins one of the first stages allowing the engine to ingest even more air completing a cycle. The hot and high pressure air is expelled through the exhaust nozzle which speeds up the air even further as it leaves the engine. The force from the exhaust gases leaving the engine is what provides forward motion.

What kind of engine is a jet engine?
Gas Turbine.
Why did they change the name of the gas turbine to the jet engine?
They use both terms. A turbine engine that's being used in an aircraft is a "jet engine," and a turbine engine that's being used in a ground-based application is a "gas turbine." Sometimes it's the same engine--the Lycoming engine used in the CH-47 as a "jet engine" is also used in the M-1 tank as a "gas turbine."
What is the differences between gas turbine and turbine engine?
That depends on what you are thinking of. Gas turbine usually refers to all types of jet engines and engines that use the 'jet engine' concept. The turbine engine you are thinking of could be one of a few things, like a jet engine for military aircraft, turboprop, or turbofan for commercial engines.
What are the types of stator?
the types of statore are compressor, gas turbine, turboprop, and jet engine
What type of engine is used in subsonic aircraft?
Reciprocating (Petrol powered with pistons). Gas turbine (jet).
What is an air turborocket?
An air turborocket is a jet engine in which a gas generator drives the turbine which drives the inlet compressor.
Constant pressure cycle used in which engine?
Gas turbine engines and airbreathing jet engines use the Brayton Cycle.
What is the hot section of a jet engine the compressor or the turbine?
the hottest point of the jet engine is the combustion chamber
Which type-of-fuel is used in aeroplanes?
av gas for piston engine and aviation turbine fuel [atf] is for jet engined,there are three type of atf jetA,Jet B, and third one is jet A+
How a jet engine on a jet plane works?
A jet engine works basically the same as any engine. It compresses air, then injects fuel and ignites it with the result that the fuel/air burns and expands which produces work. Air is brought in the engine and turning blades compress the air and pushes it further back. When it gets to the combustion chamber, fuel is injected and the gas is ignited. The fuel/air burns and expands and flows faster out the back. As it does, it turns the turbine blades which are connected by a shaft to the front blades and keeps the engine turning.
What is the difference between a Gas turbine engine and a piston engine?
a compressor does work on the gas , raising its pressure and temperaturea turbine does the reverse , it expands the gas as it passes through the turbine, extracting energy from the gas to do mechanical work.For a typical jet engine , the flow track on a compressor is of a converging cross section while is it diverging for the turbine, which is as per gas dynamic laws.The Turbine does two things here in the jet engine, one ,it runs the compressor and two, expands the gas to the propelling nozzle which produces thrust by accelerating the gas upto its exit.
What is a helicopter powered by?
They are either powered by a turbine engine like a jet engine or a piston engine.
