Natural gas - some of them could I guess. It depends on the type of aircraft and what the engine is designed for. Usually (I'd guess 95% of the time) piston aircraft (many of the smaller propeller airplanes) use "Avgas" (Aviation Gasoline) which is similar to the gasoline used in cars except it has a higher octane rating (say between 100 and 130) than the typical gas used by cars (which might be 85 to 90 octane). Jet propelled aircraft use "Jet Fuel" which is similar to Kerosene or Diesel fuel used by large trucks. If the aircraft engine was designed to use natural gas then that's what it would run on.

What do planes run on?
a special type of gas
What equipment's run on gas?
cars, planes, lawn mowers etc.......
How are planes polluting the environment?
planes give of gas as they fly through the air which pollutes the air and their gas is also known as a greenhouse gas
How do planes pollute the air?
The gas it uses.
What is the need of gasoline in the airplane?
What exactly do you mean? Type of fuel? Most piston powered aircraft run on 100 octane low-lead or 100LL. Jets run on Jet A/A1 (similar to JP8 in the military) or B (similar to JP4 in the military) Certain planes can run on regular 87 octane gas from gas stations...some even run on Diesel. It all varies.
Do planes have gas pedals?
Airplanes do not have gas pedals. Instead they use a throttle lever which is hand operated. Some planes come with pedals that are used to operate the rudder or brakes.
Does an airplane need gas to fly?
yes Most airplanes other then gliders need fuel to fly some planes run on normal internal combustion engines and others run on jet engines but they all require fuel to operate them.
What does higher octane do?
With TODAY'S cars, all it does is drain your wallet faster. Cars today are ALL made to run on low octane gas. thak is a bad answer it works with planes to bitc
Where planes are put?
Planes are parked in the airport. They are checked for performance and gas is entered. Otherwise, they are in the air, flying most of the time.
Do airplanes run empty on gas?
Yes, they can run out of gas.
What does aviation gas cost?
It depends on what kind of aircraft you are using. Most small planes (Piper, Cessna, etc...) mostly run on gasoline. Some run on special liquids, but for the most part you can simply go to a gas station and get gas for your airplane. It depends on gasoline prices, really. If it is a larger plane or one that runs on a different fuel, again, it differs, based on availability and economic status.
Do you run strait gas in a dirt bike?
if you have a 4stroke dirt bike you run straight gas ,if you have a 2stroke dirt bike you run mixed gas
