Promoted Content: How Jet Engines Work

The jet engine is one of the primary modern inventions that has propelled the development of the global economy to its current state. It has not only changed the way people travel for leisure, but it has had a profound effect on the manner in which business is conducted around the world. Trade, made easier through jet powered travel and freight operations, has increased opportunities for exports and imports, with merchants from all corners of the world coming together to bring their innovations to different continents. Unlike the traders of old such as those of the East India Company in the 19^th Century, who braved the seas and months of travel to bring exotic goods to their homelands, nowadays bringing new and exciting products to new markets happens within hours.

During 1950s-60s air travel was glamourised and seen as the most luxurious way to travel. Today, traveling via jet comes as naturally as traveling by train, whether you’re flying commercial or by private jet hire. Millions jet off on exotic holidays, while on the opposite end of the spectrum humanitarian organisations and governments can quickly provide relief and support to those in need.
