=Propulsion : to push forward or drive an object forward. =

 The word is derived from two Latin words:

 * **//pro//** meaning before or forwards
 * **//pellere//** meaning to drive

 Examples:
>
 * 1)  A propulsion system is a machine that produces [|thrust] to push an object forward.
 * 2)  On airplanes, thrust is usually generated through some application of Newton's [|third law]of action and reaction.
 * 1) A gas, or **working fluid**, is accelerated by the engine, and the reaction to this acceleration produces a force on the engine http://www.grc.nasa.gov/WWW/K-12/airplane/bgp.html

=**Thrust** is a reaction force described quantitatively by Newton's Law.= When a system expels Second and Third Laws or accelerates mass in one direction the accelerated mass will cause a proportional but opposite force on that system
