Does thrust effect a paper airplanes?

An arm throwing it is causing the thrust.


What provides thrust for airplanes?

An engine driving a propeller or a turbine causes thrust.


How do airplanes generate thrust?

With an engine--either prop or jet.


What is the kind of spinner used to give thrust to some airplanes?

The spinner alone gives no thrust. The shape of the propeller is what moves the air and gives thrust.


What do airplanes and rockets have in common?

an engine for thrust and wings/fins for control.


What are the names of the forces involved in flying airplanes?

Lift, Drag, Thrust and Weight.


Is the upward force on a airplane wing is thrust?

Thrust is the forward motion of the airplane provided by the engines. Lift is the upward force on an airplanes wing.


What force of airplanes produced by engines causes air to move over and under wings?

Thrust


What forward movement force of airplanes provideed by ingines cuases air to move over and wings?

Thrust


Why cant airplanes fly straight out of the atmosphere?

Airplanes use air for lift and for thrust. If there's no atmosphere, they can't fly. Even a jet engine needs to burn and compress air.


What makes smaller airplanes go faster than bigger airplanes?

There are four factors that are exerted on airplanes. Thrust, Drag, Gravity and lift. Lift must be higher then gravity to make a plane go up. Thrust be be stronger then drag to make a plane go faster. As a plane becomes larger, more drag is added to the plane. This requires more thrust to maintain the same speed. So, as a plane gets larger the amount of power an engine must produce goes up drastically. Small planes with the same horsepower or thrust ratings will alays be able to go faster.


How are old airplanes similar to new airplanes?

Old Airplanes and new are similar because they work under the same principles. Creating enough lift to become airbourne. To do so a plane needs to be light enough with enough thrust and enough surface area of the wings to create the lift
