Jet engine
A jet engine is a reaction engine that generates thrust by ejecting a jet of fluid; air-breathing gas-turbine types power nearly all modern high-speed passenger and military aircraft.
Jet engine ingestion
Jet engine ingestion is the entry of birds, rain, hail, ice crystals, sand, or debris into an aircraft turbine engine, potentially damaging blades or causing thrust loss.
Jet fighter generations

Jet grouting
Jet grouting is a ground improvement technique in which grout injected through high-pressure nozzles erodes and mixes with in-place soil, forming soil-cement columns or panels.
Jet impingement cooling
Jet impingement cooling is a convective technique in which high-velocity fluid jets strike a heated surface to strip its insulating boundary layer, achieving heat transfer far higher than parallel flow.
Jet injector
Jet injector: also called needle-free or needle-free jet injector (NFJI, DSJI); a device delivering drugs or vaccines through skin via a high-pressure liquid jet without a needle; used in smallpox mass campaigns, insulin delivery, and influenza vaccination, with cross-contamination risk in multi-use-nozzle models.
