__General Information__
Issac Newton's third law of motion is the basis for jet propulsion. ‘To every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.’


 * Kerosene, one of the principal components of jet fuel, "is a thin, clear liquid formed from hydrocarbons, with density of 0.78-0.81g/cm3. Kerosene is obtained from the fractional distillation of petroleum between 150 °C and 275 °C, resulting in a mixture of carbon chains containing 12 to 15 carbon atoms."** (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kerosene)
