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.

What force propels a jet plane?
The force of the jet engine propels a jet plane. The force of the engine pushes the exhaust gasses backward at great speed and the plane moves forward. This force propels the jet plane.
What is the difference between a jet plane and a propeller?
A jet plane uses a jet engine's thrust for propulsion. A propeller is a set of blades somewhat like a big fan that blows air to the back of the plane for thrust instead of using a jet engine for the thrust to move the plane forward.
How does a jet engine help a plane?
It pulls the plane through the air.
How does the jet on a jet plane makes the plane move?
The exhaust gases from combustion create thrust which pushed the plane in the other direction
A jet engine works under the principle of?
A jet engine works under the principle of force versus thrust.
How jet plane moves on land?
When a jet plane moves on land, it is called taxiing. The engine thrust of the plane allows the plane to move without actually taking off until it is ready.
What is bigger jet or plane?
A jet is a type of engine that powers many aircraft and does not have anything to do with airplane size.
The name of fuel that the plane uses?
Avgas, or if it has a jet engine, it would use either Jet-A1 or Jet-B fuel.
What is the engine power of a jet plane?
I cannot give you a specific answer, because it varies depending on the engine.
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.
Who came up with the design of a jet plane?
Sir Frank Whittle came up with an idea of jet engine.
What is the Jet Engine's purpose?
The Jet engines purpose is to create thrust.With out Thrust a plane would not be able to fly.
