The answer is debatable as the modern jet engine as we know it was in development by several parties around the world at the same time....

Popular references suggest the Englishman Sir Frank Whittle invented the engine as he was the first to patent his idea, yet the German Hans Vons Ohain developed the first to fly.

Hans Vons Ohain had access to Frank Whittles original design patent.

Does a Jet have a motor?

Yes, a jet has engines, which are often referred to as jet engines. These engines operate on the principle of jet propulsion, where fuel is burned to create high-speed exhaust gases that propel the aircraft forward. Unlike traditional motors that might use propellers, jet engines typically provide thrust directly through jetting out exhaust gases.
