jet plane
Noun: 1. A jet-propelled aircraft: A jet plane is a type of airplane that is powered by one or more jet engines. These engines work by taking in air, compressing it, mixing it with fuel, and igniting it. The hot, expanding gases are then expelled at high speed out of the back of the engine, which propels the aircraft forward. This is distinct from propeller-driven airplanes.
The term "jet plane" specifically describes the propulsion system of the aircraft. It is commonly used to distinguish modern, high-speed aircraft from older, propeller-driven models. - The commercial jet plane cruised at an altitude of 35,000 feet. - Military jet planes are often designed for supersonic flight. - The invention of the jet plane revolutionized long-distance travel.
