Rocket

Rocket, one transportation to outer space or moon at present. self-propelled device that carries its own fuel, as well as the oxygen, or other chemical agent, needed to burn its fuel. Most rockets move by burning their fuel and expelling the hot exhaust gases that result. The force of these hot gases shooting out in one direction causes the rocket to move in the opposite direction. A rocket engine is the most powerful engine for its weight. Other forms of propulsion, such as jet-powered and propeller-driven engines, cannot match its power. Rockets can operate in space, because they carry their own oxygen for burning their fuel. Rockets are presently the only vehicles that can launch into and move around in space.

A rocket can be as simple and small as a firework, which has a small amount of thrust, or as complex and powerful as the Saturn V rocket, which took humans to the Moon. British Congreve war rockets, which were used in the War of 1812, are referred to in a line of the United States national anthem: “And the rockets red glare…” Rockets

Helicopter

During the past sixty years since their first successful flights, helicopters have matured from unstable, vibrating contraptions that could barely lift the pilot off the ground, into sophisticated machines of extraordinary flying capability. They are able to hover, fly forward, backward and sideward, and perform other desirable maneuvers. Igor Sikorsky lived long enough to have the satisfaction of seeing his vision of a flying machine "that could lift itself vertically from the ground and hover motionless in the air" come true in many more ways than he could have initially imagined.

At the beginning of the new Millennium, there were in excess of 40,000 helicopters flying worldwide. Its civilian roles encompass air ambulance, sea and mountain rescue, crop dusting, fire fighting, police
