Talking

well, given that a jet engine works on the same principle of compression and combustion as an internal combustion engine I'd have to ask why 'the heat' (shall we call it thrust?) is coming out the 'wide end' of the engine, rather than the narrow (compressed) end.

I think it's wrongly depicted....or else an engine with a huge compressor stall in progress!!
