Default RE: Bernoulli vs Newton

It should be noted that rockets, jets, and propellers to not move because of "pushing against" air. They move by reacting to their acceleration of gas molecules, whether by combustion (rockets and jets) or by deflection (props). Rockets have more power when there is no air slowing down that acceleration.
