How does jet fuel help work in a jet engine?
Air is sucked into the engine using giant fans called axial compressors (compressors for short), which compress the air into a very dense structure. The air is then mixed with jet fuel which creates a very potent flammable mixture which is then lit. After the fuel and air is lit, there is a constant controlled explosion where the air and fuel turns into gas and expands extremely fast and is forced out the back of the jet. Without the fuel, the air would not ignite. Jet fuel is different from gasoline used in passenger cars and has more in common with diesel fuel in which both diesel and jet fuel are designed to have high flash points and allows for high compression.
