1 .
An artificial firework consisting of a cylindrical case of paper or metal filled with a composition of combustible ingredients ,
as niter ,
charcoal ,
and sulphur ,
and fastened to a guiding stick .
The rocket is projected through the air by the force arising from the expansion of the gases liberated by combustion of the composition .
Rockets are used as projectiles for various purposes ,
for signals ,
and also for pyrotechnic display .
[
1913 Webster ]
2 .
A blunt lance head used in the joust .
[
1913 Webster ]
3 .
any flying device propelled by the reactive force of hot gases expelled in the direction opposite its motion .
The fuel used to generate the expelled gases in rockets may be solid or liquid ;
rockets propelled by liquid fuels typically have a combustible fuel (
such as hydrogen or kerosene )
which is combined inside the rocket engine with an oxidizer ,
such as liquid oxygen .
Single liquid fuels (
called monopropellants )
are also known .
Since rocket engines do not depend on a surrounding fluid medium to generate their thrust ,
as do airplanes with propellers or jet engines ,
they may be used for propulsion in the vacuum of space .
