JET, Jet or Jets all have a wide variety of meanings: __NOTOC__
Scientific
- A jet is a stream of liquid or gas that can be mathematically characterized.
- In geology, jet (lignite) is a mineraloid (mineral like material)
- In meterology, a blue jet is a form of upper atmospheric lightning
- In meteorolgy, a jet is an electrical discharge that occurs high above the cumulonimbus cloud of an active thunderstorm.
- In astrophysics, a relativistic jet is a stream of fast-moving plasma emitted from an active galaxy. A similar phenomenon on a much smaller scale is a polar jet. These are emitted during star formation from either side of the accretion disk, along the two polar axes.
- In nuclear physics, a jet is a cone of hadrons
- In nuclear physics, the Joint European Torus is an experimental Nuclear fusion reactor.
- In mathematics, a jet (mathematics), jet bundle or spray (mathematics)
- In software engineering, Microsoft Jet Database Engine is now deprecated; the "Jet" stands for Joint Engine Technology
Aerospace
- Jet engine
- Jet aircraft
- Jet Airways, an airline based in India serving domestic and international routes
