Question: How does a jet engine create thrust?

Martin McMahon answered on 1 Nov 2024:

In most modern jet engines air is sucked in at the front, and then a large number of fans are used to squeeze this air, fuel is burned in the middle of the engine to create hot gas, then the combined hot gas and squeezed air is squeezed even more by more fans, called turbines. Everything is spinning and happening very fast, and eventually the hot gas mixture is pushed out the back of the engine, and this is what generates the thrust.
