Best Answer

The propeller plane could have a piston engine or engines, or a turbine engine or engines, the latter being a distinction that makes the craft a turbo-prop.

Can a ship's propeller having four controllable pitch propellers be replaced with two blade propellers?

It is possible to replace one kind of propeller (sometimes called a screw) with another kind. When moving to the "less complex" two blade propeller, the mechanisms that control the pitch of the blades of the propeller with pitch control will be abandoned or removed. There may be a lot more to this, but the basic answer is that you can replace one kind of propeller with another kind, as long as the "handedness" of the screw is the same as the one coming off. Or you'll go backwards in "Ahead" and ahead in "Back" on the direction selector.

What kind of fuel does a glider use?

Gliders by definition.. are gravity driven, towed to operating altitude by a plane and disconnected. Their aerodynamics/ efficiency allows them to use thermal currents and up draft to glide for miles/100+miles. Their main attraction is there is no motor noise, closest thing other than a hang glider(but faster) to being a bird.
