Hello gareth2-ga,

I have selected various good resources for you to help you understand
the original question you have. I recommend that you read these pages
as they will scaffold your knowledge and understanding of the
principle of aerodynamics in jet planes.

There is an extensive article devoted to how an airplane works at
howstuffworks.com. A section of this article that discusses
aerodynamics.

The following pages are important resources of information to give you
a general introduction to the principles of aerodynamics as they
relate to planes:
http://science.howstuffworks.com/airplane1.htm
http://science.howstuffworks.com/airplane2.htm
http://science.howstuffworks.com/airplane3.htm
http://science.howstuffworks.com/airplane4.htm

Next, I recommend that you read the introduction to Aerodynamics here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aerodynamics (first four paragraphs are
vital, the rest of the article is highly recommended).

Next move on to a very jet specific portion of on Wikipedia,
specifically the information about Scramjets in this article:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jet_engine

Reading the sources that I have selected for you above should give you
a good understanding of your question. Please let me know if you need
any further clarification and I will do my help you further.

All the best,

tisme-ga
