During World War 2, both the Axis and the Allies worked to develop the jet engine. This new engine design did not use a propeller to drive the plane, but used thrust generated by the jet engine to push the craft through the air. The Germans came up with a working model first, and it could make a fighter move pretty darn fast. The German jets had a minimum effect on the war because the Allies bombed the manufacturing facilities to the point where few of the craft became operational. But they did frighten the heck out of the airmen who flew against them and saw the speeds with which they cut the air.
Where the gun fires through the propeller, the two are mechanically connected and timed so that the rounds will pass between the blades of the propeller.
A turboprop plane operates by using a gas turbine engine to drive a propeller, combining the principles of both jet propulsion and propeller-driven flight. The gas turbine compresses air, mixes it with fuel, and ignites the mixture, producing exhaust gases that spin a turbine connected to the propeller. This setup allows the turboprop to generate thrust efficiently at lower speeds and altitudes, making it ideal for regional and short-haul flights. The propeller provides the majority of thrust, while the gas turbine engine supports the propeller's operation and provides additional power as needed.
No, the propeller will only work if the engine is running.
no. it needs some viscous drag to throw the water and drag the ship forward... feel like a block just gliding in frictionless plane...
It propels.
the motor spins the propeller like a turbine. isn't it obvious, idiot .
It moves.
The curved shape of the propeller deflects airflow to it's rear. This is 'thrust' that propels an aircraft.
You would have to lift the load by hand!
No, a propeller requires a medium, such as air or water, to push against in order to generate thrust. In the vacuum of space, there is no medium for the propeller to work against, so it would not be able to generate thrust or propel a spacecraft.
Radio controlled airplanes need four main ingredients to work. A power supply, usually a power battery pack or just batteries. You will also need to hold a transmitter that sends the information waves to the antenna or reciever on the plane. This sends the signal to the motor, wheels and propeller for turning, steering and operating your plane.
Their first plane was the XP-80, which became the F-80 Shooting Star--America's first jet fighter. It was rapidly replaced by the F-86, America's second jet fighter, because the F-80 wasn't as good as the MiG fighters it went up against over Korea.
