I would have thought that the illustration would have made it clear I was referring to rocket engines. But i like your clarification.
Says jets in the text you gave, is this a translation issue?

In my defense, the stuff at the left doesn't look very "engine-ey" in that the (apparent) bell seems smaller than the (apparent) combustion chamber.
This issue is known as denotation vs. connotation. The denotation is the original literal meaning of a word. The connotation is the way people use it in common vernacular. The present connotation of jet obviously is an airplane powered by turbojet or turbofan engines.
I would think the latter...
