How does the propeller on a light aircraft make the plane move?

It works in the same way as a fan it pushes air due to the angle or pitch of the blades

How does the propeller on a light aircraft make the move?
The blades on the propeller are angled in such a way that, while they are turning, they push air backwards towards the tail of the aircraft. This 'pulls' the aircraft forwards - and the air flowing over the wings lifts the plane into the air.
How propellar on light aircraft make move?
The engine turns the propeller around.
Why is there no lift on a aircraft on the ground?
There IS lift because there is wind. It just doesn't make the plane take off (although it might - search youtube to see light and not that light aircraft examples!)
What is function propeller reduction gear box of the aircraft?
It's function is to lower the propellers speed and make it more controllable.
Why are forces important to aircraft designers?
Forces are very important to aircraft designers because they have to think about Gravity, Lift, Thrust and Drag.Gravity is what pulls things down. Aircraft designers need to stop the plane from falling down, so they need to make sure the gravity can't bring it down.Lift is the upwards force that allows a plane to fly without being pulled down by gravity. Aircraft designers need to make sure that their plane will go up.Thrust is what pushes the plane forwards. Air craft designers need to make the plane go forward to get to places.Drag is what slows the plane down. Aircraft designers need to make sure the plane will go through the air fast, so they have to make their plane streamlined.Engineers design the aircraft to be as light as possible so it can fly further or carry more cargo. He has to design the structure for the right amount of forces(or stresses) that it will experience in flight. If he over-designs the structue, it will be heavier. If he under-designs it, then it could fail or maybe wear out too soon.
What is a personal use aircraft?
An aircraft (plane, etc) that is used for personal reasons, as opposed to commerial reasons (to make money).
Can you put a propeller on a plane to make wind energy?
You could, but then you would be generating additional drag. This would most likely require more energy to overcome than the energy generated by the windmilling propeller.
Can a fan make an object move when its attached?
Sure, if it's designed right. See the "air-boats" used in Florida everglades, the Hovercraft, and propeller aircraft.
When did Amelia Earhart make her own plane?
Amelia never made her own plane, she bought existing aircraft and had the Lockeheed Electra modified.
How many decibels does an aircraft make?
Depending on the plane and distance, more than 100 decibels.
How do you make an elastic powered propeller?
The way you make an elastic powered propeller is to wine a propeller to a twisted elastic, let go and enjoy!
What weapon advancement did tony Fokker make?
Anthony Fokker developed the synchronized firing mechanism which allowed a machine gun to fire through the arc of the plane's propeller without the bullets hitting the propeller. Is ws attached tot the cam shaft of the plane's engine, as the propeller would make its pass in front of the machine gun's muzzle the mechanism would stop the function of the gun allowing the propeller Blake to pass in front of it without being shot. Then the gun would start again and repeat this process. Before this the guns were place on the top wing firing over the propeller arc, decreasing accuracy. With the guns in front of the pilot, he could now more effectively point his gun at the enemy with his plane and increase his accuracy.
