    Just add a inlet feel free to use any inlet
    I recommend you using the fuselage inlet because it matches shapes from your ac

    basically make sure you have inlets and fuel

    FIrst of all, you need to choose which engine you need. There are small ones (Blasto J15 as an example), and the big ones (Blasto J90 as an example). If you need a simpler explanation, the ones that are small are blocky, and the big ones are cylindric. So, if you want to make a, let's say, a ground attack jet, I suggest using the blocky jet engines, but if you are trying to create a supersonic beast, use the turbofan one.

    Second, you need inlets. Jet engines need air to work, and if no inlets are provided, the engine with produce much less thrust. You can put them outside the body, or nudge them inside your airplane (this trick will reduce drag, and the plane would be a bit faster).

    And most importantly, fuel. Jet engines tend to use more fuel than the propellor ones, but they are faster. So, you should use fuselage blocks with fuel for your aeroplanes with jet engines (the standard fuel tank blocks are ugly, IMO). Also, I suggest putting fuel to wings.

    Talking about manoeuverability, jet planes are less turny and pitchy than the propellor ones. If you want to make a jet fighter, I advise you to put at least one air-to-air missile.

    I hope this will be useful.
