Until recently, jet engines had only one essential moving part: the rotor. The forward end of its shaft spins an air compressor, which usually looks like a series of small windmills on the rear end of the shaft. High-pressure air from the last windmill goes to the combustion chambers where the fuel is burned. Hot gases formed there spin a turbine. The turbine turns the compressor, and the gases that pass through it shoot out the tailpipe in a high-speed jet whose reaction pushes the airplane forward...

But it would be a permanent one only if Britain could also increase its productivity and boost exports (see below) while still supplying the home market with products it now lacks...
