If you want to turn, you turn down the thrust then turn. Its the same way jets turn.

Ok I just looked it up, because I've heard of tanks that use gas turbines like that, and how otherwise would jet helicopters work? Anyway, the turbines with gearboxes are called turboprops, and have a propellor instead of a fan.
