It is cold at high altitude and air density is low.
The aircraft should not be too much weight.
Requires large utilities to generate steam.

After diploma in mechanical engineering you which fields you can starat your study?
steam turbines and gas turbines
Is there a list of steam turbines gas turbines and gear boxes installed in oil and gas petrochemistry in the Middle East?
UDI
Are all turbines powered by steam?
No, there are gas turbines powered by hot gas formed by the burning of kerosene (in aircraft engines) or by natural gas combustion for electrical generation. Gas turbines are also used in some naval ships. Then there are water turbines as used in hydro power. Also, wind can drive turbines.
What are the Principle of working of a gas power plant?
In the oil and Gas industries , power is generated by electrical generators driven by Gas turbines , Steam turbines , reciprocating engines or in some cases turbo expanders.
How did the navy use nuclear power?
The Navy uses Nuclear Power to create steam. Steam is then used to power steam turbines, which in turn power the ship's screws and generators. The US Navy has steam plants, gas turbines, diesel and nuclear powered vessels.
What advantages of gas turbine compared to steam power plant?
Gas turbines are typically much smaller and therefore cheaper. Also, steam turbines require a long time for the fuel (coal, oil, uranium) to heat up the water and so changes in power output are slow. Gas turbines rely partly on the burning and instant expansion of gases, meaning that turbines start and stop much faster.
How is recent combination cycle gas turbines lost?
factorys
What type of energy turns a turns a turnbine?
Different forms of energy can turn turbines: wind energy and water energy can turn turbines to dive electric power generators. Steam turbines are also used for this purpose. Then there are gas turbines which can be used for electric power, and they are also used in aircraft.
How is electricity made from natural gas?
you burn gas under water and it makes steam. this steam turns a turbine which makes magnets rotate large coils of wire, causing electricity. Answer Gas turbines drive an alternator.
A device that converts thermal energy into mechanical energy is a?
This is a heat engine, they come in various types such as internal combustion, external combustion, steam turbines, gas turbines, etc.
Can burning fossil fuels generate electricity?
Yes, well sort of. Burning fossil fuels is the first step. These fuels heat water and turn it into steam. The steam will drive the turbines. In some cases, turbines are driven by the products of combustion of natural gas instead of steam. The rotating turbines create electricity. See related link.Fossil fuels are things like coal, natural gas, and oil. In most countries, they are used to generate much of the electricity.
How is electricity in your homes powered?
The electricity in your home is a generated force of alternating current (AC). The prime movers of the generators can be hydro electric dams, coal fired steam turbines, gas fired steam turbine, wind generated turbines to mention a few.
