   The service propulsion system (SPS) engine was originally designed to lift the CSM off the surface of the Moon in the direct ascent mission mode, [20] The engine selected was the AJ10-137, [21] which used Aerozine 50 as fuel and nitrogen tetroxide (N 2 O 4) as oxidizer to produce 20,500 lbf (91 kN) of thrust.

   A multi-axis thrust vectoring engine nozzle in motion. Thrust vectoring, also known as thrust vector control (TVC), is the ability of an aircraft, rocket or other vehicle to manipulate the direction of the thrust from its engine(s) or motor(s) to control the attitude or angular velocity of the vehicle.

4. Thrust reversal - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thrust_reversal

   Thrust reversal, also called reverse thrust, is the temporary diversion of an aircraft engine's thrust for it to act against the forward travel of the aircraft, providing deceleration. Thrust reverser systems are featured on many jet aircraft to help slow down just after touch-down, reducing wear on the brakes and enabling shorter landing ...

8. Jet engine performance - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jet_engine_performance

   The type of jet engine used to explain the conversion of fuel into thrust is the ramjet.It is simpler than the turbojet which is, in turn, simpler than the turbofan.It is valid to use the ramjet example because the ramjet, turbojet and turbofan core all use the same principle to produce thrust which is to accelerate the air passing through them.
