Jet engine
Definition
An air-breathing jet engine (reactive) that utilizes surrounding air as an oxidizer for burning fuel and generating propulsion force through the rapid expulsion of exhaust gases. Unlike rocket engines, this structural mechanical assembly fully depends on the presence of Earth's atmosphere to function, being widely used in modern airliners and supersonic aircraft.
