A jet Engine is a machine designed for the purpose of creating large volumes of high-velocity exhaust gasses. (This sounds simplistic, but it is essentially correct.) This is done in order to produce the thrust needed to overcome the aerodynamic drag of an airplane. In the process of producing high-velocity exhaust, the jet Engine also produces: Electrical power Hydraulic power Pneumatic power for A/C and pressurization Hot air for anti-icing protectionP1, Page 5Basic Operation of a Jet Engine The basic operation of a jet Engine is: Air enters and is compressed in a compressor.
