https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OxygenCommon uses of oxygen include production of steel, plastics and textiles, brazing, welding and cutting of steels and other metals,
rocket propellant, oxygen therapy, and life support systems in aircraft, submarines, spaceflight and diving.
once again - provide a scientific citation that shows why oxygen can be a fuel source for rockets but not for jets?

Current cryogenic types
Liquid oxygen (LOX) and highly refined kerosene (RP-1). Used for the first stages of the Atlas V, Falcon, Soyuz, Zenit, and developmental rockets like Angara and Long March 6. This combination is widely regarded as the most practical for boosters that lift off at ground level and therefore must operate at full atmospheric pressure.
LOX and liquid hydrogen. Used on the Centaur upper stage, the Delta IV rocket, the H-IIA rocket, most stages of the European Ariane 5, and the Space launch system core and upper stages.
LOX and liquid methane will be used on several rockets in development, including Vulcan and New Glenn.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RP-1Quote
RP-1 (alternately, Rocket Propellant-1 or Refined Petroleum-1) is a highly refined form of kerosene outwardly similar to jet fuel, used as rocket fuel.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liquid_hydrogenQuote
Liquid hydrogen is a common liquid rocket fuel for rocketry applications — both NASA and the United States Air Force operate a large number of liquid hydrogen tanks with an individual capacity up to 3.8 million liters (1 million U.S. gallons).[8] In most rocket engines fueled by liquid hydrogen, it first cools the nozzle and other parts before being mixed with the oxidizer — usually liquid oxygen (LOX) — and burned to produce water with traces of ozone and hydrogen peroxide.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Methane#FuelQuote
Methane is used as a fuel for ovens, homes, water heaters, kilns, automobiles,[21][22] turbines, and other things. Activated carbon is used to store methane. Liquid [23] methane is also used as a rocket fuel when combined with liquid oxygen, as in the BE-4 and Raptor engines.
