Once the air enters the fighter jet engine, it is squeezed by compressor stages, which are rotating fans and fixed blades in ...

A turbofan engine is an engineering feat. Here's what to know about how a jet engine works, from the fan in the front to the hot inner core.

Jet engine output is measured in thrust, not horsepower. Thrust reflects the force moving an aircraft forward, making it the standard metric for jet power.

Jet engines that you find (most commonly) or airplanes have a particular kind of fan that helps make the whole thing work. Here's what it does.
