The direction of the thrust is normally along the longitudinal axis of the rocket through the rocket center of gravity. But on some rockets, the exhaust nozzle and the thrust direction can be rotated, or gimbaled. The rocket can then be maneuvered by using the torque about the center of gravity. The magnitude of the thrust can be determined by the general thrust equation.
Thrust and Lift. Thrust and lift are two other forces that help your plane make a long flight. Thrust is the forward movement of the plane. The initial thrust comes from the muscles of the pilot as the paper airplane is launched.After this, paper airplanes are really gliders, converting altitude to forward motion.hrust is the forward movement of the plane.
