Scientific paper

Various properties of radio jets having projected angular sizes of more than a few arcseconds are summarized. Their intrinsic projected sizes range up to 290 kpc. Their radio spectra tend to be flatter than the spectra of the integrated emission of the sources with which they are associated. Jet wiggles, gaps, magnetic field structures, collimation and alignment are discussed. The bulk flow velocity of material in these jets is probably nonrelativistic. Jets may be a more dominant morphological feature in low luminosity radio sources than in high luminosity sources. Mechanisms by which energy is supplied to the outer lobes of radio sources are discussed, including energy supply by both relativistic and nonrelativistic material.
