propulsion research and development
Propulsion research and development involve creating and improving systems that generate thrust to move vehicles like airplanes, rockets, and spacecraft. This work explores new methods and technologies—such as more efficient engines, alternative fuels, and advanced designs—to increase performance, reduce costs, and enhance safety. It combines physics, engineering, and testing to develop propulsion systems that can enable faster travel, lower emissions, and support space exploration. Overall, it’s about innovating how vehicles propel themselves, ensuring they are more effective, sustainable, and capable of meeting future transportation and exploration needs.
