  3. How it works • Newton’s Third Law: For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. • Fans help pull air in the front of the engine. • Air flows into the compressor. • The air then leaves the high-pressure compressor and enters the combustion chamber. • The air is mixed fuel and burned. • The superheated gas then passes through the turbine which rotates the compressor blades.
