Thrust is a force that propels an object forward, typically generated by engines or propulsion systems in vehicles such as airplanes, rockets, and boats.

Thrust comes from Old English þrūst, meaning 'a push, shove'.

Thrust is like when you push a toy car - it's the force that makes it move forward.

Birds use thrust from their wings to fly
Thrust is essential for airplanes and rockets to overcome drag
Newton's third law explains thrust: For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction
