A turbofan engine is an engineering feat. Here's what to know about how a jet engine works, from the fan in the front to the hot inner core.

Building a jet engine yourself likely wouldn't be very easy, but the basic principle of how a jet engine works is fairly simple. Your average jet engine uses a series of fans to inhale air.

Jet engines operate by setting fire to fuel. So when it's rainy out, how is it that jets can still fly? Why doesn't the rain put out the fire?

The pilot used a model of a commercial plane to begin discussing how jet engines work. Robinson also explained how he makes sure the airplane is safe for takeoff and landing by first checking ...

Problem: how to make a jet engine work under water. Solution: make it use a fuel that burns in water instead of in air. Dr. Fritz Zwicky, astronomer, physicist and rocket expert of Caltech, has ...

Car engines and jet engines work on thoroughly different principles – unless you want to discuss the Chrysler turbine car – so discussing the horsepower ratings of jets requires digging into ...
