2.1. Air Manipulation
2.1.1. When air is compressed, it exerts a force that is otherwise known as thrust.
2.1.2. Thrust is the force that propels objects forwards and/or upwards - in the opposite direction as the air is being released.
2.1.3. Thrust is the force that opposes drag.
2.1.3.1. Thrust is a mechanical force.
