If you are referring to the wedges in the air intake of jet engines, they restrict intake air flow. The faster the plane goes the more air is packed into the intake, the wedges restrict the air to keep it from blowing out the fuel burner. No flame no thrust, this is know as a flame out. In jet boats thrust wedges are in the pump, increasing thrust. It takes more power to drive the pump because it is putting out more pressure. Hope this helps with your quest for a answer.

The only thrust wedges I've heard of are more to do with geology, not aircraft.

Terrifies passengers, I should think.
