# MinutePhysics — Why Are Airplane Engines So Big?

A hand-drawn whiteboard explainer that starts from one visible trend, jet engines getting bigger, and builds the physics step by step: thrust is mass times velocity change, wasted energy goes up with velocity squared, and drag caps the size. It ends on a sponsor end card.
