hydrojet

Pressurized water thrust

A hydrojet is a propulsion system that moves watercraft by forcing a powerful stream of water out the back, rather than using a propeller.

The mechanism draws water in and expels it at high pressure: The boat's hydrojet let it operate in shallow waters where propellers would strike bottom.

Hydrojet also describes water-cutting tools that use extremely high-pressure streams.
