fueled propulsion systems

Fueled propulsion systems generate thrust by burning fuel to produce high-pressure gases, which are expelled to push an object forward. Common examples include rocket engines, where liquid or solid propellants combust to generate the hot gases needed for movement. This process converts chemical energy into kinetic energy, providing the force needed to propel spacecraft, aircraft, or vehicles through air or space. Fueled propulsion systems are essential for overcoming gravity and atmospheric resistance, enabling travel over long distances and into space when alternative methods are insufficient.
