Good question! Believe it or not the temperatures inside a jet engine do get hot enough in some parts to actually "soften" the interior components. However, engineers have come up with a clever way to keep parts cool. Many of the components including turbine blades have many tiny hols in them which cool air is directed into the part and out of the hols creating a blanket of cooler air which protects the parts from the higher temperatures flowing around it. Even though these parts are still hot enough to glow red, they are still kept just cool enough to withstand the great forces acting on them.

Should you replace the space shuttle with a jet engine and carbon steel or provide stronger steel to jets to go into space?
A jet engine cannot take you into space as there is no air in space to provide the jet engine with oxygen. Also metals cannot survive reentry as they melt and burn up, unless protected by some type of heat shielding material..
Where is the jet engine from?
The Germans invented the first operational jet engine during WW2.
What is the hot section of a jet engine the compressor or the turbine?
the hottest point of the jet engine is the combustion chamber
Was it a romanian that invented the jet engine?
A Romanian, Henri Coanda, developed an engine in 1910 that was similar to the modern jet engine. Coanda's engine required an external motor in addition to the jet engine so most people accept that his development is not classed as the jet engine that was later developed by Sir Frank Whittle in Britain. Whittle produced the first jet engine that was self supporting and ran without the aid of external equipment.
Who invented jet-engine?
the first jet engine was invented by a engish engineer called sir Frank Whittle but it was later invented in Germany by a Dr. Hans von Ohain, but Frank had already patented the jet engine.
What is difference between a rocket a jet engine?
A rocket explodes and a jet doesnt.
Can jet fuel melt steel?
It can heat it enough to weaken it, but it won't melt it.

Where to buy a mini jet engine?
You can but a mini jet engine on ebay.
Why might a very hot rock might not melt?
it might not melt if it doesnt have fluid in it
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.
Cheese that doesn't melt?
Halloumi doesnt really melt. It can be used on barbecues without problems.
