What controls the thrust of a rocket?
Liquid rocket engines would act much like a car engine. More fuel, more thrust. Solid rocket engines are either on or off. No throttle control.
Is thrust a push or pull?
It can be either or. In terms of on aircraft, it depends on where an engine is located on an airplane. Engines on the wings of an aircraft (like a DC-3 or a Hercules cargo airplane) generate a push. Engines on a CF-18 Hornet or an F-15 Phantom are also engines that generate a push-type of thrust because the engine is located closer to the rear of the fuselage. However, single-prop airplanes like a Cessna bush plane or a Spit-fire generate more of a pulling thrust since the engine is in front of the fuselage.
What is thrust is there different types of thrust?
Well, thrust is propel something forward. There are 4 different types of thrust, that is ....a)Propeller b)Jet engine c)Rocket engines d)ramjet engines... Check this website out to know more about thrust =http://www.boeing.com/companyoffices/aboutus/community/fof_thrust.html
How can a designer of solid rocket engines make the engines produce different amounts of thrust?
The thrust of a solid rocket engine depends on the composition of the solid fuel and the rate at which it is burned, and to some extent on the way the gases are directed by the exhaust nozzles. The same material can be burned at different rates to produce more or less thrust, and the nozzles (also used for directional control) can divert this thrust to control velocity and stability.
How many engines does a 747 jet have?
747 uses 4 for forward thrust and at least one or 2 more for electricity and utilities
Do aeroplanes have reverse gears?
Sort of. Some planes can reverse the thrust of their engines. Propeller aircraft can change the pitch of their propellers so it can "bit" more air. Some can be reverses in pitch so that it is provide zero thrust.
Why can heavy objects such as airplane and spcecrafts travel in the air?
Propulsion engines and aerodynamics. In slightly more detail it's down to the amount of thrust from the engines and the special shape of the body and wings of the plane that allows it to fly.
How are horsepower and thrust related in a jet aircraft?
The more horsepower you have, the more thrust you will be able to produce. The more horsepower you have, the more thrust you will be able to produce.
What type of engine does a B52 have?
The B-52H has eight Pratt & Whitney TF33-P-3 turbofan engines, each providing more than 17,000lb of thrust.
What species is the sea otter?
I think mammals... but I am not 100% sure...
