HOW IT WORKS•Newton’s Third Law: For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.•Fans help pull air in the front of the engine.•Air flows into the compressor.•The air then leaves the high-pressure compressor and enters the combustion chamber.•The air is mixed fuel and burned.•The superheated gas then passes through the turbine which rotates the compressor blades.
