Does "jet boat" mean "jet drive" and what exactly does jet drive mean?


A gas turbine drives a fan that sucks in air, mixes it with burning

That's not how mine works. A lot of PWCs have jet drives,
and I haven't seen that type jet on one of them yet either. I'll
be on the lookout for one now though :-)
