jet planes
Turbine-powered aircraft types
Jet planes are aircraft powered by jet engines, which generate thrust by expelling hot exhaust gases at high speed.
The term distinguishes them from propeller-driven planes.
Jet planes dominate commercial aviation and military air power, capable of speeds and altitudes that propeller aircraft cannot match: We watched the jet planes streak across the sky.
