non-air breathing jet engine used to propel a missile or vehicle
A rocket engine is a type of jet engine that doesn't need to breathe air and is designed to propel missiles or vehicles through space or the atmosphere. It matters because it enables spacecraft, satellites, and other vehicles to travel where air-breathing engines cannot operate, such as in the vacuum of space.

A propulsão do foguete (português brasileiro) ou foguetão (português europeu) se dá quando as substâncias químicas (hipergólicas ou não) são misturadas na válvula de ignição entrando em processo de combustão (espontânea no caso das hipergólicas ou forçadas nos outros casos), impulsionando o foguete. Motores de foguete se tornam mais eficientes em altas velocidades, devido ao efeito Oberth.
