Most of us take for granted the fact that at any time of day, there could be about 7,000 planes powered by jet engines transporting thousands of passengers around the continental United States! But how do these modern marvels of science and physics work, and how are they constructed to be capable of creating such force? What is a jet engine and how is it different than a car engine? A ...
