No, a jet is not a type of rocket. Jets operate by using the intake of air, which is mixed with fuel and then ignited in a combustion chamber to produce thrust. Rockets, on the other hand, carry their own oxidizer and do not require air intake for propulsion.

What is the difference between a space shuttle and a rocket?

Answer The Space Shuttle is a rocket. By definition, a Rocket is a vehicle that burns gas that it carries with it. Where as, a jet airplane burns the oxygen from the air and is not a rocket. The Rocket when it is launched has a liquid fuel rocket engines at the back end of it. It also has two long, solid fuel rocket engines that separate after launch. But the space shuttle is pulled by a rocket.


What kind of rocket launched Apollo 11 into space?

The type of rocket that launced Apollo 11 into space is the same type of rocket that was used for all Apollo launchings. The Saturn V (five) multistage rocket was used.


What is the principle on which a rocket works?

A rocket works on the principle of Newton's third law of motion, which states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. The rocket propels itself forward by expelling mass in one direction (exhaust gases) at high speeds, causing the rocket to move in the opposite direction.


What kind of engines do you require to achieve flight in earth atmosphere and in outer space?

To achieve flight in Earth's atmosphere, you would typically use jet engines, turboprop engines, or piston engines. In outer space, rocket engines are commonly used for propulsion due to the lack of air for combustion. Rocket engines propel spacecraft by expelling mass in the form of hot gases at high speeds.


Why rockets are launched into space using jet propulsion where exhaust accelerates out from the rocket and the rocket accelerates in an opposite direction?

Rockets are launched using jet propulsion because it follows Newton's third law of motion, which states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. The exhaust expelled at high speed propels the rocket in the opposite direction. This allows the rocket to overcome Earth's gravity and achieve the necessary velocity to reach space.
