Only Diesel-Electric submarines or Nuclear Submarines using their diesel engines as the primary power source need to bring in oxygen (via a snorkel mast) to run them. Engines on a nuke don't require oxygen, as they're powered by steam turbines. DE's don't require it either, as they normally run on battery power when submerged.

How do diesel powered engines work?

Diesel engines work by using compression to cause an explosion which releases a surge of power. The engine compresses diesel fuel and oxygen in a cylinder until the fuel heats up and explodes.


Why can't fighter planes land on moon?

Jets use jet engines which obtain the oxygen they need to operate from the air. There is no air in space, hence no oxygen, meaning that they cannot fly in space. Once they get to a certain altitude, there is not enough power to fly higher. Rockets carry their own oxygen supply, normally in the form of Liquid Oxygen, to allow their engines to work.

Can an airplane work without atmosphere?

In short, no.The longer answer is that flight for an airplane works by using various properties of the atmosphere, which is essentially different layers of air, such as:Air densityAir flowAir pressureThe other thing to think of, is that the engines that make airplanes fly all need to burn some kind of fuel, which requires the Oxygen in the atmosphere.So without all these properties of our atmosphere, planes will just sit there, unable to even start their engines.
