An engine that burns fuel and moves forward by pushing exhaust backward is known as a jet engine. It operates on the principle of Newton's third law of motion, where the expulsion of exhaust gases at high velocity generates thrust, propelling the engine—and the vehicle attached to it—forward. Jet engines are commonly used in aircraft, providing the necessary power for flight by efficiently converting fuel into thrust.

What does the thrust push against in a jet engine?

The thrust in a jet engine pushes against the surrounding air. As the engine expels high-velocity exhaust gases backward, the equal and opposite reaction propels the aircraft forward.

What force propels a jet plane?

A jet plane is propelled by the force produced by its jet engines, which expel high-speed exhaust gases to create thrust. This thrust overcomes drag and allows the plane to move forward through the air.
