A jet engine is a type of engine that propels an aircraft or other vehicles by expelling jet propulsion. It works on the principle of Newton's third law of motion: for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. Essentially, a jet engine takes in air, compresses it, mixes it with fuel, ignites the mixture, and then expels the resulting hot gases at high speed out of a nozzle, producing thrust.
