We neglect this term, therefore, and obtain:

Separate chapters on liquid, solid, and hybrid propulsion systems and a new chapter on thrust chambers including the new aerospike nozzle Since all vectors are in the x-direction, we drop the vector notation. Applying conservation of momentum, we obtain Coherent, up-to-date chapter on electrical propulsion balancing fundamentals with practical aspects and applications
