propulsion system
propulsion system[prə′pəl·shən ‚sis·təm] (mechanical engineering) For a vehicle moving in a fluid medium, such as an airplane or ship, a system that produces a required change in momentum in the vehicle by changing the velocity of the air or water passing through the propulsive device or engine; in the case of a rocket-propelled vehicle operating without a fluid medium, the required momentum change is produced by using up some of the propulsive device's own mass, called the propellant. propulsion system
