jet
Powerful fluid stream
The most frequently encountered jet is an aircraft powered by a jet engine, that is, an engine that produces power by expelling a jet (a forceful stream) rearwards.
Any other strong stream of liquid or gas may also be called a jet (jets of water in a fountain).
The pervasive wind that flows west to east high in the atmosphere is called the jet stream.
A different kind of jet is a dense form of coal that is used in jewelry.
