Note: This free mini-course is taken from the King Schools course - Jet Transition. Martha and John King say it best with their description of the full course - "This course covers all the things we wish we had been told in advance when we started flying jets. We would have learned much faster, and avoided making a lot of embarrassing mistakes under very stressful circumstances." —John & Martha King

Very Informative
This is my first time with king school and I have to say, I highly appreciate the free courses (I just took the Free Jet Engine course). King School is going to become a very integral part of my journey to becoming a pilot. Thank you KING school. Will recommend this platform to anyone wanting to either learn more or to start a career as a pilot.

How Jet Engines Work
It's good to watch it
It's good to know that the jet engine works by sucking in air at the front, compressing it, mixing it with fuel, igniting the mixture, and then expelling the hot gases out the back at high speed, creating thrust that propels the aircraft forward, even there's a strong wind or rain the engine works well.
