Best Answer

The compressor on a gas turbine and other jet engine types takes the air around us at normal pressures, and compresses it to much higher pressures and temperatures. Like the compression stroke on a internal combustion engine, the incoming air needs to be at extreeme pressures for the engine to be efficient.
