What is bigger jet or plane?
A jet is a type of engine that powers many aircraft and does not have anything to do with airplane size.
What is the difference between jet and airplane?
Any fixed-wing aircraft with an engine is an airplane. There are different kinds: piston-engine airplanes have piston engines driving propellers, (airplane engines are horizontally-opposed, like the engine in an old Volkswagen), turboprop airplanes have turbine engines with gearboxes that drive propellers, and jet airplanes have turbine engines that move the plane directly. So, factually, a jet is a type of engine on an airplane. However, over time, aircraft with jet engines have often been referred to as "jets."
What is the miles per gallon on jet fuel?
Depends on what airplane the jet engine is mounted in.
What is airplane jet fuel?
it is a type of fuel
A device powered either by a piston engine and prop or by a jet engine?
Airplane is a device powered either by a piston engine and prop or by a jet engine.
What does the engine on an airplane do?
They propel the aircraft by propellers or jet thrust.
What propulsion improved airplane flight?
Jet propulsion improved airplane flights. Before that piston engines were used. They were much slower compared to the jet engine.
Are jet engines are used for only moving jets?
Well yes, assuming if an airplane does not have a jet engine, it would not be called a jet.
What propels an airplane or ship?
A ship is propelled by wind or a propeller, and an airplane is propelled by a jet engine, propeller or turboprop.
When were jets invented?
There are multiple claims for inventing the jet engine from 1910-1930, but the first jet airplane to fly was in 1939.
What car company made the first jet engine?
You're probably thinking of Rolls-Royce--one of the biggest jet engine manufacturers--but the first real jet engine was built by the Heinkel airplane company in 1935.
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.
