A fixed-wing aircraft generates forward thrust when air is pushed in the direction opposite to flight .
An airplane makes forward thrust when air is pushed in the direction opposite to flight .
A jet engine has no propeller , so the propulsive power of a jet engine is determined from its thrust as follows .
This is called the `` propulsive power of the jet engine '' .
A piston engine does not move the aircraft by itself ( the propeller does that ) , so piston engines are usually rated by how much power they deliver to the propeller .
A piston engine does not move the plane .
A motorboat generates thrust ( or reverse thrust ) when the propellers are turned to accelerate water backwards ( or forwards ) .
A boat with a motor makes thrust or reverse thrust when the propellers are turned to push water backwards ( or forwards ) .
Reverse thrust can be generated to aid braking after landing by reversing the pitch of variable pitch propeller blades , or using a thrust reverser on a jet engine .
Reverse thrust can be used to help braking after landing .
For vertical launch of a rocket the initial thrust at liftoff must be more than the weight .
For vertical launch of a rocket to work , the starting thrust must be more force than the weight of the rocket .
If the rocket or aircraft is moving at about a constant speed , then distance divided by time is just speed , so power is thrust times speed : This formula looks very surprising , but it is correct : the propulsive power ( or power available ) of a jet engine increases with its speed .
The propulsive power of a jet engine increases with its speed .
This can be done in several ways including by the spinning blades of a propeller , or a rotating fan pushing air out from the back of a jet engine , or by ejecting hot gases from a rocket engine .
Thrust can also be made by a rotating fan pushing air out from the back of a jet engine .
A very common question is how to contrast the thrust rating of a jet engine with the power rating of a piston engine .
A very common question is how to compare the thrust number of an airplane engine with the power number of a piston engine ( the kind of engine in cars and in airplanes with propellers ) .
The resulting thrust pushes the boat in the opposite direction to the sum of the momentum change in the water flowing through the propeller .
The thrust that this makes pushes the boat in the opposite direction than the water is being pushed .
This is the exhaust velocity with respect to the rocket , times the time-rate at which the mass is expelled , or in mathematical terms : where T is the thrust generated ( force ) , is the rate of change of mass with respect to time ( mass flow rate of exhaust ) , and v is the speed of the exhaust gases measured relative to the rocket .
The force the exhaust gas makes is called the exhaust velocity .
A rocket is propelled forward by a thrust force equal in magnitude , but opposite in direction , to the time-rate of momentum change of the exhaust gas accelerated from the combustion chamber through the rocket engine nozzle .
A rocket is pushed forward by a thrust force as large as the force the exhaust gas makes when going out of the rocket nozzle .
When a system expels or accelerates mass in one direction , the accelerated mass will cause a force of equal magnitude but opposite direction on that system .
When a system pushes or accelerates mass in one direction , there is a thrust ( force ) just as large in the opposite direction .
Power is the force ( F ) it takes to move something over some distance ( d ) divided by the time ( t ) it takes to move that distance : In case of a rocket or a jet aircraft , the force is exactly the thrust produced by the engine .
Power is how much force it takes to move something over a distance , divided by the time it takes to move that distance : , Where P is power , F is force , d is distance , and t is time .
There is n't any useful power measurement in a jet engine that compares directly to a piston engine rated power .
A useful way to measure the power of a jet engine is to how much power the jet engine gives to the aircraft through its thrust force .
