Jet engines and liquid rocket engines have much in common. Both pump fuel and oxidizer into a combustion chamber to develop ... is that rockets carry their oxidizer with them whereas jet engines use air as their source of oxygen. In rocket engine terminology, the term "jet" usually refers to the stream of hot gas that ...
