jet plane
Fast commercial flight
A jet plane is an aircraft powered by jet engines rather than propellers.
The engines produce thrust by expelling hot exhaust gases at high speed.
Jet planes dominate commercial aviation and military applications because they fly faster and higher than propeller-driven aircraft: We took a jet plane from New York to London.
