Rockets are propelled by a reaction engine that generates thrust by expelling mass in the form of high-speed exhaust gases. In chemical rockets, this is achieved by burning propellant fuel and oxidizer in a combustion chamber to produce hot gases that are expelled through a nozzle, creating thrust in the opposite direction.

Do rockets have wing?

A rocket is a form of propulsion. If a rocket is used to power an airplane, it is referred to as a rocket-plane, and has wings like an airplane. It the rocket is use to propel a vehicle vertically, which does not need wicgs to provide lift, it is called simply a rocket. Sometimes fins are used to stabilize or guide a rocket in flight, but these are referred to as fins rather than wings.


What is a engine used on a spaceship?

There are actually two types of boosters that were both used by the space shuttle before their decommission. To propel the vehicle out into space from the surface of the earth out past the atmosphere, the shuttle used SRB's, or Solid Rocket Boosters. The engines on the actual shuttle are LRB's, or Liquid Rocket Boosters. These are used to propel the space vehicle further into space and into orbit around the earth.

The fuel used in a rocket is energy stored as?

chemical energy in the form of rocket propellant, typically a combination of fuel and an oxidizer. When ignited, this chemical energy is converted into thermal energy, which expands rapidly to generate thrust and propel the rocket.
