Propulsion is the science and engineering behind moving objects by generating force. Whether it’s a car cruising down the highway, a ship slicing through the sea, a drone hovering mid-air, or a rocket heading to orbit, propulsion systems are what make things go.

In modern times, human propulsion is found mainly on small boats or as auxiliary propulsion on sailboats. Human propulsion includes the push pole, rowing, and pedals. Propulsion by sail generally consists of a sail hoisted on an erect mast, supported by stays, and controlled by lines made of rope.
