Question

So would I get a star in the BA interview if I explained the jet engine like this:

Basically severla fans or turbines at the front of the engine suck in and force air through a narrow compression chambers toward the combustion chamber. Then in the combustions chamber fuel is injected into the system in a vapour format through hundreds of tiny nozzles and ignited to cause rapid explosions forcing the expanding gas out through the rear nozzle causing thrust.

This is how I remember it from physics and seems a nice easy way to understand it!! Any comments?
