<human>:  Can you explain how a jet engine works?
<bot>: A jet engine works by sucking air in at the front of the engine, compressing it and mixing it with fuel in a combustion chamber. This mixture is then ignited, creating an explosive force that pushes hot gases out of the back of the engine, propelling the jet forward. The exhaust from the engine is used to spin a set of turbines, which help to power the engine. These turbines are responsible for providing the thrust that enables the jet to fly.
