propulsion engineering

Propulsion engineering involves designing and developing systems that enable vehicles, such as airplanes, rockets, and ships, to move effectively. It focuses on creating engines and thrusters that generate the necessary force (thrust) to propel these vehicles through air, water, or space. This field combines principles from physics and thermodynamics to improve efficiency, power, and reliability. Whether optimizing jet engines for better fuel economy or developing rocket systems for space travel, propulsion engineering ensures vehicles can achieve their desired speeds and destinations safely and effectively.
