Propulsion is what keeps a jet in the air. Otherwise the plane has to fall down. Propulsion keeps the air always flowing over the wing which in turn keeps the plane afloat.

How do an jet stream gain speed?

Jet streams gain speed due to the temperature and pressure differences in the atmosphere. As air moves from areas of high pressure to low pressure, the Coriolis effect causes it to deflect, creating a fast-moving band of air called a jet stream. Additionally, the presence of the polar front jet stream at the boundary of cold polar air and warm tropical air can also contribute to high wind speeds.
