This paper is an attempt at examining the structure of the jet engine from a mi-crometeorological perspective, in order to further develop the emerging methodol-ogy of “machine critique.” As an outsider of science and engineering, a social sci-entist can probe into the deeper layers of complex machines, which will lead to fresh perspectives. This paper will merge the two seemingly unrelated subjects, micrometeorology and jet engines, which will provide new insights for scientists and engineers to further their horizons. Ultimately, this paper interprets the jet air-craft as a micrometeorological phenomenon. This will allow us to perceive the air-breathing engine as the interface between humans and their surrounding environ-ment.
