An aircraft propelled by jet engines rather than piston engines.


How many piston that airbus a380 have?

Airbus aircraft all have jets, not piston engines.


Are jets aircraft?

Aircraft that can break the sound barrier, yes they are jets. Aircraft are jets if they are powered by jet engines, as opposed to piston engines which have propellers.


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.

How is a propulsion system used to move an aircraft?

A piston engine turns a propeller or a jet engine turns turbines to give the aircraft forward movement and create lift around the wings.


WType of engine in aircraft?

Smaller planes have piston engines, but bigger planes like the Boeing 717-777 and other planes have turbine engines


Why was the jet inveted?

The jet engine? 1. There are theoretical limits to the speed of propellor-driven aircraft. 2. There are practical limits to the power of propellor propulsion. 3. Piston engines, for given output, are large, and need cooling. The jet engine can propel aircraft at supersonic speeds, can be scaled up to very large powers, especially by using fan/ bypass technology, and the jet turbine can be made self-cooling by the large volumes of air it consumes. One example of a jet turbine's superiority over piston engines is the Chinook helicopter, which uses two turboshaft (jet engine with a shaft connection) to drive its large rotors. This design is superior to using piston engines.


How does a piston work on an airplane?

One believes you are talking about piston engines- such as a V-l2 or Flat-6 as opposed to Jet or turbine engines. almost all automobiles with the exception of the Rotary-engined Mazda, use piston internal-combustion engines. With aircraft there are piston engined, Turbo-Prop, and straight turbine or turbo-jets. Rockets are a bit out of the pale for common use.

How to make a jet propulsion v type engine?

Since the terminology "V type" refers to piston configuration and since jet engines don't have pistons then it's not possible.
