How do planes run?
Aircraft run, or more correctly, fly, by first having a light structure involving wings that will give it 'lift'. Most aircraft have engines to propel them. They may be piston engines, very similar to auto engines,but with a propellor instead of wheels. They may also have jet engines. - When the aircraft is propelled forward fast enough, the wing will generate lift and it will rise off the ground. Once in the air, the pilot controls the aircraft by movable devices on the wings and tail that let him turn it and make it go up or down.
What did the first rockets use for propellant?
Depends of which rocket you are talking about. Fire arrows used gun powder, but they were made to explode. Goddars rocket used liquid oxygen and gasoline. The Saturn V F1 engines used Liquid oxygen and kerosene while the J2 engines used liquid oxygen and liquid hydrogen.
What achievements did the Wright brothers accomplish?
The Wright brothers developed the first effective control systems for aircraft and went to great lengths to make engines lighter.
What enabled aircraft to fly long distance in 1919?
2 reliable engines and lots of fuel tanks. - The first true long distance aircraft was the Vickers Vimy bomber that British aviators Alcock and Brown flew across the north Atlantic in 1919.
When was the first airplane invemted?
There really is no fixed date, and the aeroplane really 'evolved' rather than being a specific invention. Many men invented different things that contributed to aircraft, just as they did to steam engines. People tried different wings and methods of control, types of engines (one early aircraft even had a steam engine). -It took many different contributions to get to Kittyhawk, 1903.
Were the first automobile engines liquid cooled or air cooled?
Air cooled, much like the old "hit and miss" farm engines.
Is same kind of engines for cars made airplanes possible?
the first airplanes used engines very similar to ones found in automobiles, later aircraft often featured air cooled rotary engines for their light weight before being replaced by jet engines.
In what year did Yamaha first make a water cooled YZ80?
1982 is the first liquid cooled 80
Where can engines be found in the aircraft?
Ideally: where they were first installed. Otherwise there's a problem!
Which gas forms the liquid first when the air is cooled?
oxygen and then hydrogen
Were cars invented before airplanes?
Yes, the engines first used for cars were used in the first aircraft
Which brand of aircraft engines deliver the best performance and last for a reasonable amount of time?
The brand of aircraft engines that delivers the best performance and last for a reasonable amount of time would have to be the Rolls-Royce engine. These are the first or second most popular and trusted brand of airplane engines.

Who first made aircraft engines?
In 1848 John Stringfellow made a steam engine that was able to carry a model aircraft. The earliest aircraft engine capable of powering a passenger plane was made in 1906 by Leon Levavasseur. The first mass produced aircraft engine was made in 1908 by Gnome Omega.

What elements exist in liquid form?
Bromine and Mercury at room temperature. All can exist as liquids, but they must be heated or cooled first.
What were the first propellants used for?
The first propellants were used for engines. Propellants help the aircraft move forward. Moving forward at high speeds causes lift around wings.
