Tough question isn't it... the answer to this question is easy to understand but hard to accept. the answer lies in your ability to understand the evil of belief itself. Some watch a magic trick being performed and are completely amazed, other say.... "hey, wait a minute."
I understand that the previous answer is correct, but I will write it is scientifically. A common misconception is that thrust must push off another substance like air. This is in fact untrue because if you look at newtons third law you will see that (in its simplest form) that for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. This means that the gases coming out of the jet is one force acting off of the jet itself therefore propelling it ;)
What else can I help you with?
How do planes generate thrust?
Planes generate thrust by using jet engines or propellers. Jet engines work by taking in air, compressing it, mixing it with fuel, and igniting it to produce a high-speed exhaust that propels the plane forward. Propellers create thrust by rapidly spinning and moving air backwards to create a forward force.
How do jet engines provide a forward thrust to for an airplane?
Jet engines work by sucking in air, compressing it, mixing it with fuel, igniting the mixture, and then expelling hot gases at high speed through a nozzle in the back. The force created by the expulsion of the hot gases at high speed propels the aircraft forward. This principle of action and reaction, as described by Newton's third law of motion, generates the thrust needed for the airplane to move forward.
How to Convert shaft horse power to pounds of jet thrust?
There is no direct conversion between shaft horsepower (SHP) and pounds of jet thrust, as they are two different measures of power and thrust for different types of engines. SHP measures the power output of a shaft-driven engine, while jet thrust measures the force produced by a jet engine. To compare the two, you would need to consider factors such as engine efficiency, design differences, and specific applications.
How much is 33000 pound of thrust?
33,000 pounds of thrust is equivalent to a force of 146.9 kilonewtons. This amount of thrust is commonly used as a unit of measurement for the power of jet engines and rockets.
What part of a plane and of a jet are used to create thrust?
The motors or engines. The propeller(s) generate forward thrust on piston or turbo-prop aircraft, and on jet aircraft, thrust is created both by combustion exhaust and by bypass air from the fan(s).
How is thrust used in jet engines?
Thrust is the main propulsion medium. The jet engines produce the thrust (the force forward) the air moves across the top of the wings creating a vacuum which in effect hold the aircraft in flight. The greater the engines are worked the greater the thrust and therefore speed.
What is thrust in an aircraft?
Thrust is the power made by a jet engine to propel an aircraft.
What is the difference between a jet plane and a propeller?
A jet plane uses a jet engine's thrust for propulsion. A propeller is a set of blades somewhat like a big fan that blows air to the back of the plane for thrust instead of using a jet engine for the thrust to move the plane forward.
How does the after bunner jet engine work?
Jet fuel is sprayed into the exhaust gas steam and ignited, as this happens, the end of the primary nozzle constricts hydraulically and the result is increased thrust as the jet exhaust is "after burned".
How do jet planes fly?
Jet planes fly with the help of Thrust and Lift produced by the jet engines.
How do planes generate thrust?
Planes generate thrust by using jet engines or propellers. Jet engines work by taking in air, compressing it, mixing it with fuel, and igniting it to produce a high-speed exhaust that propels the plane forward. Propellers create thrust by rapidly spinning and moving air backwards to create a forward force.
What is the force that moves a plane forward?
Thrust. The pull of the propellers, the push of the jet engine, the pull of gravity.
What is use of jet nozzle?
To increase thrust or pressure
Which of the forces is directly provided from jet engines?
Thrust
How thrust is increased in jet engine?
AfterburnersWater Injection
How are breaks applied in jet engines?
A jet engine has no brakes. Though they do have thrust reversers which change the direction of thrust to slow the aircraft down. Aeroplanes have brakes on the wheels.
How does the jet on a jet plane makes the plane move?
The exhaust gases from combustion create thrust which pushed the plane in the other direction
