  1. reaction-propulsion engine

    A reaction-propulsion engine is a type of engine that creates thrust by expelling reaction mass in accordance with Newton's third law of motion. This includes various types of engines such as jet engines, rocket engines and some types of boat propellers. The operation of these engines involves the principle of conservation of momentum where the motion of the engine is achieved as a reaction to the ejection of a high-speed fluid jet rearwards. The engine's forward thrust is equal to and in the opposite direction of the rearward-plunging jet.
