One additional note: The exhaust velocity may be mach 1.0 at the throat of the nozzle, but the high temperature of the exhaust means that the actual velocity is much higher than mach 1.0 outside the engine at ambient temperatures. ( Because the speed of sound varies with temperature ) So even a subsonic jet engine has exhaust velocities well above whatever the local mach 1.0 may be.
