Best Answer

Air goes in the front end, is compressed by the turbine, then kerosene fuel is sprayed in and ignites, and the expanding gases blow out the back end creating thrust and pushing the plane forward. The escaping gas also turns the turbine on the back end that is connected to the turbine on the front end compressing the air coming in the front end.
