This Star Wars Day, it’s time to figure out how these iconic flying machines work, and if there’s anything like them on Earth.
Let’s say you don’t need to fly quite so far. What about a jet engine? These are the things you mainly see on commercial airliners, but very small jet engines can also be used to makeJust like rockets, jet engines produce thrust by shooting mass out the back, which is mostly just air. The energy comes from combusting jet fuel, which is similar to kerosene and is made from petroleum. The increase in the momentum of this ejected matter produces a forward-pushing force.
Well, what about the Mandalorian jetpacks—are they jet engines or rocket engines? I'm going to say they are rockets. First, you need to bring air in for jet engines to work, and you don't really see an air intake on the top of the jetpack. Second, we have seen that these jetpacks work underwater, like whento save Din Djarin in the Living Waters on Mandalore. That rules out jet engines.
