How a CFM56 Turbine Jet Engine works.
Brief video of how a high-bypass turbofan jet engine works. From http://www.cfm56.com (I highly suggest that you visit their website).
This engine powers the Boeing 737(300-900) , the Airbus A340 (200-300), and is an optional engine for the Airbus A320 family. (Please correct me if I'm wrong)
