A plane needs air, a rocket doesn't.

What describes the difference between the mechanics of airplane flight and rocket flight?
Airplane flight relies on lift generated by the wings due to the airflow over them, while rocket flight operates by expelling propellant out of the rocket engine to create thrust in the opposite direction. Airplanes need to maintain a certain speed to generate lift, while rockets can function in the vacuum of space where there is no air for lift.
What is true of rocket flight but not airplane flight?
It has the ability to create lift in a vacuum -apex
What is true of a rocket flight but not airplane flight?
It has the ability to create lift in a vacuum -apex
Which of these statements is true of rocket flight but not airplane flight?
It has the ability to create lift in a vacuum.
What statements describes a difference between the mechanics of airplane flight and rocket flight?
Airplane flight relies on the principles of aerodynamic lift generated by wings interacting with air, utilizing engines that draw in atmospheric oxygen for combustion. In contrast, rocket flight operates on the principle of thrust produced by expelling propellant at high speeds, functioning effectively in a vacuum where there is no air. While airplanes are dependent on atmospheric conditions for both lift and propulsion, rockets can achieve flight beyond Earth's atmosphere, making them suitable for space travel.
Was an airplane or a rocket invented first?
-- The gunpowder rocket was invented around 500 BCE. -- The first successful flight of an airplane was in 1903. So the rocket sneaked past the airplane in line by about 2,400 years.
What is the difference between a long rocket fin and a short rocket fin?
A longer fin has increased aerodynamic drag. The geometric relationship between the drag caused by the fins and the center of gravity of the rocket determine the stability of the rocket in flight. Less aerodynamic drag means the rocket can go higher or farther, but it also means the rocket is less stable in flight. This tradeoff has to be considered in the design of the rocket.
What statements about airplane and rocket flight is true?
Only one requires air molecules to generate lift.
Do rockets have wing?
A rocket is a form of propulsion. If a rocket is used to power an airplane, it is referred to as a rocket-plane, and has wings like an airplane. It the rocket is use to propel a vehicle vertically, which does not need wicgs to provide lift, it is called simply a rocket. Sometimes fins are used to stabilize or guide a rocket in flight, but these are referred to as fins rather than wings.
What is the difference between a space shuttle and a rocket?
Answer The Space Shuttle is a rocket. By definition, a Rocket is a vehicle that burns gas that it carries with it. Where as, a jet airplane burns the oxygen from the air and is not a rocket. The Rocket when it is launched has a liquid fuel rocket engines at the back end of it. It also has two long, solid fuel rocket engines that separate after launch. But the space shuttle is pulled by a rocket.
What is the difference in propultion between an airplane a spacecraft?
A spacecraft need a rocket engine (which is powered by on-board oxygen and fuel) to propel itself, an airplane only needs a jet engine (which only needs on-board fuel as it uses oxygen form the air).
What is difference between a rocket a jet engine?
A rocket explodes and a jet doesnt.
