exhaust thrust
1Thrust 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… …
2Thrust — 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… …
3Thrust vectoring — Infobox Aviation name = Thrust vectoring caption = The F 18 HARV, X 31, and F 16 MATV in flightThrust vectoring is the ability of an aircraft or other vehicle to direct the thrust from its main engine(s) in a direction other than parallel to the… …
4thrust reversal — The method and means of reducing the landing run of an aircraft without excessive use of wheel brakes or any use of braking or tail parachutes. On piston and turboprop engines, it can be done by reversing the propeller pitch. In turbojet engines …
5thrust — Synonyms and related words: acceleration, actuate, advance, advance against, advance upon, afterburner, aggressiveness, animate, assault, atomic power, bang, bear, bear down upon, bear upon, bearing, best part, better part, body, boost, bowl,… …
6thrust reverser — A device placed in the tailpipe of a turbojet engine to deflect some of the exhaust gases forward to produce a rearward thrust. This helps decrease the landing roll. See thrust reversal …
7exhaust — Synonyms and related words: abate, ablate, absorb, assimilate, attenuate, avenue, backwash, bankrupt, beat, blackdamp, bleed, bleed white, blow, blow out, blowhole, blunt, breathe, breathe hard, breathe in, breathe out, broach, burden, burn out,… …
8thrust augmentation — Any method used to augment thrust. Normally, it refers to afterburning, or reheating, but it includes water or water methanol injection in turboprop engines and ejector exhaust schemes in reciprocating engines. See afterburning and water or… …
9thrust spoiler — noun : a device intended to reduce the thrust of a jet engine (as by deflecting the jet of exhaust gases) …
10Specific thrust — is a term used in Gas Turbine Engineering to show the relative bulk of a jet engine (e.g. turbojet, turbofan, etc) and is defined as the ratio: net thrust/total intake airflow. Low specific thrust enginesA modern civil turbofan has a low specific …
