An engine producing THRUST keeps an airplane moving forward. Types of engines used by airplanes include reciprocating engines, turbo prop engines, turbojet, and turbofan engines. Some manufacturers are developing electric engines and one bicycle racer powered a very lightweight airplane using pedal power connected to a propeller.

Can a strong wind stop an airplane?
Yes, and any pilot can tell you about flying into a wind but moving backwards with respect to the ground. But be certain you understand that the airplane keeps flying, it just doesn't move forward.
What does the vertical stabilizer do on an airplane?
keeps the plane from moving sideways
What force is responsible for a tennis ball moving forward after it gets hit by a tennis racket?
The ball keeps moving forward because of its momentum, which is not a force.
How does thrust and lift help an airplane fly?
Lift keeps an aircraft up, thrust pushes it forward.
What force keeps the planets moving forward in their orbits?
The force you seek is gravity.
When moving into forward flight translational lift is produced by?
Air moving over the rotor disk, much like an airplane wing.
Where does the warm air go after moving over a cold mass?
It keeps moving forward or moves with the cold air it depends
Why is a car seat belt important?
It keeps you from moving forward if the car is hit or stops suddenly.
Can passenger jet stand still in air?
No. The forward motion creates the lift that keeps it in the air. Even when all engines are shut down, momentum keeps a plane moving forward. As the momentum decreases, the plane begins to descend; forward motion eventually changes to downward motion. Even a passenger jet that explodes or has been hit by a missile keeps moving, that is the pieces keep moving. I will only stop moving when it, or the pieces hit the ground (or is purposely parked at an appropriate place).
What makes an airplane go forward?
The engine makes an airplane go forward.
How does gravity effect paper airplanes?
The lift of the paper airplane is created by the wings and the thirst that you provide with your arm. Gravity is the force that brings the plane down and keeps it moving once the energy you provided with your arm has dissipated. The downward motion of the airplane caused by gravity keeps it moving forward which allows the wings to continue to provide lift.
You are moving fast on a skateboard when your wheel gets stuck in a crack on the sidewalk using the term inertia explain what happens?
Inertia keeps you moving forward.
