Thrust — is a reaction force described quantitatively by Newton s Second and Third Laws. When a system expels or accelerates mass in one direction the accelerated mass will cause a proportional but opposite force on that system.ExamplesA fixed wing… … Wikipedia
Thrust reversal — Thrust reversal, also called reverse thrust, is the temporary diversion of an aircraft engine s exhaust or changing of propeller pitch so that the thrust produced is directed forward, rather than aft. This acts against the forward travel of the… … Wikipedia
Lift jet — A lift jet is a jet engine angled to provide an aircraft with aerostatic (i.e., not requiring the movement of air over an airfoil) lift instead of (or in addition to) thrust. On a fixed wing aircraft, lift jets may be installed as auxiliary… … Wikipedia
