    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jet_engine

    Invented. 1791, 1928, 1935. Jet engine during take-off showing visible hot exhaust ( Germanwings Airbus A319) A jet engine is a type of reaction engine, discharging a fast-moving jet of heated gas (usually air) that generates thrust by jet propulsion. While this broad definition may include rocket, water jet, and hybrid propulsion, the term jet ...

  3. Thrust - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thrust

    Thrust. A Lockheed Martin F-35 Lightning II aircraft performing a vertical climb using its Pratt & Whitney F135 jet engine, which produces 43,000 lbf (190,000 N) of thrust. [1] Thrust is a reaction force described quantitatively by Newton's third law. When a system expels or accelerates mass in one direction, the accelerated mass will cause a ...

  4. Pump-jet - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pump-jet

    A pump-jet, hydrojet, or water jet is a marine system that produces a jet of water for propulsion. The mechanical arrangement may be a ducted propeller ( axial-flow pump ), a centrifugal pump, or a mixed flow pump which is a combination of both centrifugal and axial designs. The design also incorporates an intake to provide water to the pump ...

  8. History of the jet engine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_the_jet_engine

    Jet engines can be dated back to the invention of the aeolipile around 150 BC. This device used steam power directed through two nozzles so as to cause a sphere to spin rapidly on its axis. [1] So far as is known, it was not used for supplying mechanical power, and the potential practical applications of this invention were not recognized.
