        Jet is a form of propulsion shortened to describe an aircraft. Jet aircraft, prop aircraft, etc. It is not a “bullshit” term.

        Yes, these “cars” are aircraft.

          A horseless carriage is a horseless carriage regardless of it being on the ground or in the sky.

            Really. When you replace the “horseless” with a horse, you call it a carriage. The name changed with the propulsion method.
