Jet Propulsion

Jet propulsion is a method of moving an object by expelling mass at high speed to generate thrust. It works on Newton’s third law: for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. In jet engines, air is drawn in, compressed, mixed with fuel, and ignited. The rapidly expelling gases from the engine create a force that pushes the aircraft forward. This principle is also used in rockets, which burn fuel to produce high-velocity exhaust gases, propelling them into space. Overall, jet propulsion converts energy into controlled, high-speed gas flows to generate movement.
