The size of a jet engine can vary significantly depending on the type and intended use. Commercial jet engines typically range from about 5 to 12 feet in diameter and can be over 20 feet long, while military jet engines can be larger or smaller based on their design. For example, the Pratt & Whitney PW4000 engine is about 8 feet in diameter and 12.5 feet long. Overall, jet engines are substantial engineering feats designed to withstand extreme conditions while providing the necessary thrust for flight.

Why was the jet inveted?

The jet engine? 1. There are theoretical limits to the speed of propellor-driven aircraft. 2. There are practical limits to the power of propellor propulsion. 3. Piston engines, for given output, are large, and need cooling. The jet engine can propel aircraft at supersonic speeds, can be scaled up to very large powers, especially by using fan/ bypass technology, and the jet turbine can be made self-cooling by the large volumes of air it consumes. One example of a jet turbine's superiority over piston engines is the Chinook helicopter, which uses two turboshaft (jet engine with a shaft connection) to drive its large rotors. This design is superior to using piston engines.
