Best Answer

3 sources of energy are used to land an airplane:

# Thermal energy from the airplanes engines. # Kinetic energy from the airplanes movement through the air # Potential energy from the airplanes loss of altitude. The airplane pilot balances the airplanes flightpath and slows the plane taking into account these three energy sources sometimes using one of these to bleed off another (e.g. using the engines to provide an air brake to dissipate the remaining kinetic energy after the airplane is on the runway).
