Mark's entry-level guide to #JetEngines.

Why jets? Good fuel economy, relatively simple & highly reliable, relatively small dimensions.

They burn very cleanly the highly energetic Jet Fuel (similar to diesel fuel).
However, obtaining good parameters requires high tech alloys & manufacturing, especially turbine blades.
Turbojet: high power up to about Mach 3. Common on fast military aircraft. Long and slender; one exhaust nozzle, often adjustable diameter. Very loud. Often equipped with afterburners.
