Best Answer

The jet engine takes in air through the large fan on the front. The air then passes through the compression fans, making the air highly compressed. The air is mixed with fuel before being ignited. The hot gasses push out the back of the engine at high force, creating thrust, making the plane, car, boat, or whatever the jet is on move forward.

How does a pulse jet engine work?

A Pulse Jet is a type of jet that uses a pulse jet engine for propulsion. The jet engine works by using pulse combinations of combustion. This is called "resonant combustion". The engine requires very little moving parts.

How a jet engine on a jet plane works?

A jet engine works basically the same as any engine. It compresses air, then injects fuel and ignites it with the result that the fuel/air burns and expands which produces work. Air is brought in the engine and turning blades compress the air and pushes it further back. When it gets to the combustion chamber, fuel is injected and the gas is ignited. The fuel/air burns and expands and flows faster out the back. As it does, it turns the turbine blades which are connected by a shaft to the front blades and keeps the engine turning.

On what principle does a jet engine works?

A jet engine works on the principle of conservation of momentum. Bernoulli's Principal is the basis for jet propulsion. It states that pressure in a tube remains the same unless the tube expands in size (divergent) or contracts (convergent). A gas that is forced from a larger to smaller will be low pressure on the larger side of the constriction and high velocity at the other. the reverse is true if you switch things around. This does for the jet engine what the pistons do for a reciprocating engine. Two easy examples of this principal would be 1. a balloon let go fly and 2. a garden hose spray nozzle.
