a cylindrical projectile that can be propelled to a great height or distance by the combustion of its contents, used typically as a firework or signal.
an engine that operates by the combustion of its contents, providing thrust as in a jet engine but without depending on the intake of air for combustion.
an elongated rocket-propelled missile or spacecraft
used to refer to a person or thing that moves very fast or to an action that is done with great force
a severe reprimand
an edible Mediterranean plant of the cabbage family, whose leaves are eaten in salads.
used in names of other fast-growing plants of the cabbage family, e.g. London rocket, sweet rocket.
(of an amount, price, etc.) increase very rapidly and suddenly
A cruciferous plant (Eruca sativa) sometimes eaten in Europe as a salad.
An artificial firework consisting of a cylindrical case of paper or metal filled with a composition of combustible ingredients, as niter, charcoal, and sulphur, and fastened to a guiding stick. The rocket is projected through the air by the force arising from the expansion of the gases liberated by combustion of the composition. Rockets are used as projectiles for various purposes, for signals, and also for pyrotechnic display.
A blunt lance head used in the joust.
any flying device propelled by the reactive force of hot gases expelled in the direction opposite its motion. The fuel used to generate the expelled gases in rockets may be solid or liquid; rockets propelled by liquid fuels typically have a combustible fuel (such as hydrogen or kerosene) which is combined inside the rocket engine with an oxidizer, such as liquid oxygen. Single liquid fuels (called monopropellants) are also known. Since rocket engines do not depend on a surrounding fluid medium to generate their thrust, as do airplanes with propellers or jet engines, they may be used for propulsion in the vacuum of space.
To rise straight up; said of birds; usually in the present participle or as an adjective.
Capable of being thrown; adapted for hurling or to be projected from the hand, or from any instrument or engine{2}, so as to strike an object at a distance.
A weapon thrown or projected or intended to be projected, as a lance, an arrow, or a bullet.
A rocket-propelled device designed to fly through the air and deliver a warhead of explosive materials to a target.
