Jet Thrust

 

the force of the reaction to a jet of gases or other working fluid flowing out of the nozzle of a jet engine. The jet thrust is the resultant of the pressure of the working fluid on the restricting surfaces of the engine; it is directed along the axis of the nozzle in the opposite direction to the vector of the exhaust velocity of the working fluid.
