Best Answer

No. Propeller aircraft however can adjust their props to a neutral position, allowing for no forward or reverse thrust. Jet engine blades are fixed.

What happens if there is to much thrust in a jet engine?

If it's producing more thrust than the tolerances of the design allow, it could cause damage or even breakup of the motor.


How do jet engines provide a forward thrust to for an airplane?

The thrust is given by the difference in the velocity of air coming into the jet engine and going out of the jet engine, Thrust = F= mdV/dt = ma.

How does the jet on a jet plane makes the plane move?

The exhaust gases from combustion create thrust which pushed the plane in the other direction


What is the difference between a jet plane and a propeller?

A jet plane uses a jet engine's thrust for propulsion. A propeller is a set of blades somewhat like a big fan that blows air to the back of the plane for thrust instead of using a jet engine for the thrust to move the plane forward.

You must mean 'Thrust' . The thrust is the amount of power the jet engine supplies.


How does an airplane get its thrust?

An aircraft gets thrust from an engine, either a piston engine driving a propeller or a jet driving a turbine.


What does the engine on an airplane do?

They propel the aircraft by propellers or jet thrust.


How do airplanes generate thrust?

How does an airplane produce thrust?

It's propeller or jet produces thrust by rotating under engine power.


What is the force that moves a plane forward?

Thrust. The pull of the propellers, the push of the jet engine, the pull of gravity.
