Basic propulsion systems that provide motion to a package. This section will discuss the forces that move you from point "A" to point "B". Some packages will be discussed when it is relevant to the application. This is a technical section that I will try to keep as basic as possible.

Easy Calculations - Row boat push example

F = m a

Mass = initial mass - spent fuel

Weight: See gravity

F = The chemical reaction or physical property

The mass = m (Not the weight.)

A = acceleration

V = velocity from start to finish

T = time, like building this site.

Mass reduction based on thrust generated.
