Aircraft are made of mainly two things nowadays. One compound is carbon fibre. This is a new development and is really being first tried on the new Boeing 787 dreamliner. Conventionally aircraft parts are made using a copper aluminum compound. The compound is primarily aluminum with copper particles supersaturated into the aluminum to fill the gaps (between atoms) and stop any dislocations (cracks) from moving through the compound. This compound is then age hardened and used for the aircraft. This compound is practical as it is light and strong and reusable. Every few years the panels of an aircraft are taken, melted down and reformed through age hardening into more aircraft panels. Rockets however are made of a different material and usually have a coating of ceramic tiles.

What is the difference between aircrafts and airplanes?
Aircraft is a broad term, airplane is more specific. Just like people is a broad term, and then caucasian is a more specific term. Aircraft describes anything that flys, planes, jets, helicopters, ect. And planes are just talking about a portion of the aircrafts
Why do rockets have potential energy?
Rockets have potential energy because they store chemical energy in their fuel, which is converted into kinetic energy as the rocket propels forward. As the fuel is burned and expelled out of the rocket, it pushes against the ground or atmosphere, causing the rocket to move and lift off the ground.
What are solid rockets?
The correct term is "solid propellant rocket". These are rockets that burn fuel that is not a liquid(or they are NOT liquid fuel rockets). These rockets have a fuel that is poured into the rocket case and turns to a solid. Once ignited, there is no stopping the burn or controlling it.A simple example of this is rocket you shoot on the 4th of July. It burns black powder that has been formed into a cardboard case.Whereas, a liquid fuel rocket can be controlled by varying the amount of fuel that is injected into the rocket motor.
What do airplanes and rockets have in common?
Airplanes and rockets are both vehicles designed for travel through the air/space. They both use propulsion systems to generate thrust for movement and wings/fins for stabilization and control. Both airplanes and rockets rely on aerodynamics principles for lift and propulsion.
What are some inventions using Newton's third Law?
Some examples of inventions using Newton's third law of motion include rockets, jet engines, and propeller-driven aircraft. These inventions work by expelling mass in one direction to generate motion in the opposite direction, according to the principle that every action has an equal and opposite reaction.
Why do airplanes fly in the troposphere layer?
Because that is where the air is denser and aircraft fly better.
How do you get more rockets on kerbal space program?
Construct them in the VAB (Vehicle Assembly Building)
What is tianium?
If you meant titanium, it is a very strong lightweight metal that is used in aircraft and rockets.
Give reason : rockets ,trains ,modern cars and aircraft have streamlined shapes?
5x5
What is the device that is used to stabilize rockets and airplanes?
Most aircraft are fitted with a gyroscope which is used to maintain orientation while an aircraft is changing direction or climbing and descending.
What is a gaseous element extracted from the air and used to launch rockets?
hydrogen
Attack with machine gun fire from an aircraft?
You're probably thinking of strafing, which can be done with rockets, as well.
What are the different types of air transportation?
There are various types of air transportation such as commercial aircraft, privet planes, amphibious aircraft, helicopters, lighter than aircraft, hot air balloons, blimps, zeppelins, airplanes, and rockets.
If aircraft fly in space why not aeroplanes?
Only specialized aircraft fly in space - airplanes are not pressurized or shielded the way rockets and the space shuttle are, so they can't go into space.
Is the speed of fighter plane higher than the speed of rocket?
Most rockets are much faster than fighter aircraft.
Who are the construct of rockets?
Rockets are typically constructed by aerospace engineers and technicians who specialize in designing and building rocket systems. They work on various components such as propulsion systems, guidance systems, and structural components to ensure the rocket's successful operation. Additionally, teams of scientists, researchers, and project managers are also involved in the development and assembly of rockets.
Where were rockets used 100 years ago?
Rockets have been widely used by many military forces for at least 300 years. One hundred years ago in WW1 there was a limited amount of rocket artillery used, and the French air force used rockets mounted on aircraft to attack balloons .
