JET START!!
Newton’s third law says that for every action, there is an equal but opposite reaction. If you blow up a balloon and let it go, it shoots across the room. The action of the air blowing backwards out of the balloon produces the reaction that pushes the balloon forward. Whenever you push or pull an object it pushes or pulls you with equal force.
A jet engine also works according to Newton’s third law. A powerful fan sucks air into the engine. The air is heated inside a combustion chamber, where fuel is burned. The heated air expands very rapidly and rushes from the back of the engine. This creates a reaction force or thrust on the engine that makes the aircraft fly forward.
