All kinds of places, specifically on jet airplanes (hence the adjective "Jet") Also used in the very aft end of a jet airplane, the APU or Auxiliary Power Unit, that's the whiny jet noise you hear when you get on a plane. It's used as a generator to run the electricity so you have things like air conditioning etc. while you are on the ground. Helicopters have them as well as there's a guy in California that installed one in his VW new Beetle. Very cool.

Obviously jets also the following ships, tanks, helicopters ,cars generators, basically anywhere you can use a engine a jet engine has been used there. Even a turbo prop is a jet with a propeller stuck on it. Jets are even used to clean race tracks and dry off contaminated vehicles in chemical environments. These engines can be used anywhere.

The powerplant in which I work has a HUGE jet engine which turns a generator to produce electricity. The heat from the exhaust gases is then used to boil water to run a steam turbine turning another generator to produce even more electricity.

They also keep the Alaskan oil pipe line running with two "jet" engines.

Helicopters, some tanks use turbine engines, jets obviously, very few cars and boats, wind tunnels use them.
