how does an airplane compressor work?
Doesn’t the fans in the compressor stage just push the air towards the back of the engine and not compress the air?

All fans generate some pressure. If they didn’t, the air wouldn’t move. Fans can be optimized for static pressure or airflow. In the case of jet turbines, they are designed to operate in a middle ground, generating high pressure *and* high airflow at the cost of a huge amount of energy.
