Propulsion+Jets

Jet propulsion is when thrust is produced by forcing matter ( typically air or water ) in the opposite direction of motion. By [|conservation of momentum] the plane is set in the opposite direction of the jet. It's more effective when the [|Reynolds number] is high. A jet engine is a reaction engine that releases a jet of fluid to generate force to move the plane.
