Aerodynamics

Gentlemen, Start Your Engines

What is Thrust?


Thrust one more of the aerodynamic forces and yet again a mechanical force. This time the thrust is generated by the engines of the airplane. Thrust is needed to overcome the weight of the airplane. Since thrust is a mechanical force, it's engines, or propulsion systems, must be in contact with some solid or fluid. The reaction of gas is pushed ou and thrust is generated.The thrust is taken place in the opposite direction is which the gas is pushed out. The plane takes off and completes the cycle of aerodynamic forces so that we can fly.
