Jetsystems

Jetsystems refers to a broad category of propulsion systems that operate by expelling a fluid in a particular direction to generate thrust. This principle is most commonly associated with aircraft engines, particularly jet engines. Jet engines work by taking in air, compressing it, mixing it with fuel, igniting the mixture, and then expelling the hot, expanding gases at high velocity through a nozzle. This expulsion creates a reactive force, pushing the aircraft forward according to Newton's third law of motion.

Beyond aviation, jetsystems can be found in various other applications. Rocket engines, for instance, are a type of jetsystem that carries its own oxidizer and fuel, allowing them to operate in the vacuum of space. Water jets are used in marine propulsion systems, such as those found on jet skis and some high-speed boats, where they pump water and expel it to create forward movement. Industrial applications also utilize jets, such as in water jet cutters that use a high-pressure stream of water, sometimes mixed with abrasive material, to cut through various substances. The core concept remains the same across these diverse uses: the forceful ejection of a medium to produce a propulsive force.
