Can you tell me more about the physics behind a jet engine?

A jet engine works by taking in air and compressing it, then forcing it through a combustion chamber where fuel is injected. The hot exhaust gases are then forced out of the back of the engine, creating thrust to power the aircraft forward. The process of compressing the air creates high temperatures and pressures that can reach up to 1,500 degrees Fahrenheit (816 degrees Celsius). This causes the air to expand rapidly and create a powerful jet stream.
