jet exhaust
Airplane's hot wake
Jet exhaust is the hot gas expelled from a jet engine, consisting of combustion products and heated air.
The term covers both the substance itself and the visible plume trailing aircraft: The tarmac shimmered in the jet exhaust.
Jet exhaust produces distinctive roar and heat distortion, and contributes to airport air pollution.
