Pretty darn close, the SR71 can go out as far as the outer atmosphere.

The limitation is that a jet engine needs oxygen to create the flame to get thrust from the engines, and there isn't any in outer space.
Rocket engines are used to travel to outer space,and they carry their own oxygen for combustion, or use solid fuel that also creates its own oxygen.

What kind of engines do you require to achieve flight in earth atmosphere and in outer space?

To achieve flight in Earth's atmosphere, you would typically use jet engines, turboprop engines, or piston engines. In outer space, rocket engines are commonly used for propulsion due to the lack of air for combustion. Rocket engines propel spacecraft by expelling mass in the form of hot gases at high speeds.
