>How are jets able to maintain engine being powered up constantly in air?
Don't understand the question.
If you're asking how they survive so many cycles - they have a lifespan. They need to be rebuilt after a while.
The MiG-25, for example, puts so much stress on the engine and airframe that doesn't last for all that many flight hours.

If you're asking about endurance then the answer is it doesn't really need to produce all that much thrust to propel forward. Rockets need to escape the gravity of Earf.

>Jets are using oxygen from the atmosphere right?
Air-breathing jet engines suck in air, compress it, inject fuel, and then ignite it.

Most modern jet engines are high bypass so most just goes in and shoots out the ass without any injection or real compression.
