THRUST HORSEPOWER - The force-velocity equivalent of the thrust developed by a jet or rocket engine.

THRUST - The driving force of a propeller in the line of its shaft or the forward force produced in reaction to the gases expelled rearward from a jet or rocket engine. Opposite of DRAG.

Centrifugal compressors, which were used in the first jet engines, are still used on small turbojets and turboshaft engines and as pumps on rocket engines. Modern large turbojet and turbofan engines usually use axial compressors.

Upstream of the nozzle is a pump (or a rocket engine, or some other device) to supply the necessary energy. The jet makes high-velocity air above the wing, not below, because that's where we aim the nozzle. An ordinary wing is completely different.
