The motors or engines. The propeller(s) generate forward thrust on piston or turbo-prop aircraft, and on jet aircraft, thrust is created both by combustion exhaust and by bypass air from the fan(s).

Why are airplane flaps not used at cruising speeds?
Because although flaps create extra lift they also produce a lot of extra drag which makes the plane inefficient.
What is the meaning thrust used in airplane?
"Thrust" is a force, referenced to the direction in which the aircraft is pointing. Take all the forces that act on the airplane. For each one, find the magnitude of its component in the direction in which the airplane's nose points. Their sum is the "thrust" at that moment.
What is a inclined plane commonly used for?
I think that a inclined plane is used to make work easier.Ex:A ramp
How does a propeller generate thrust?
Technically it doesn't produce thrust, it produces lift the same as a wing - each blade of the propeller is a wing just like a helicopter blade so the plane is flying or lifting in a forward direction - the backwash of a prop is produced by the air being redirected by the airfoil of the prop. Lift (or forward motion) is created by making the air pressure lower on the front of the propeller blade than the back so the aircraft is actually being pulled / pushed forward by air pressure rather than being pushed by thrust - thrust is created by the forceful ejection of fuel such as from a jet or rocket engine Not understanding why props work is why early ship propellers were so inefficient - before the principal of lift was discovered it used to be thought they worked by creating thrust, and so were designed by trial and error to create as much backwash as possible. But the backwash has little to do with how a prop works. It's one of the problems the Wright brothers had to solve with their first airplane - all props of the time were poorly designed - the brothers correctly realized the prop was a wing and designed their own props as such.
What does prism mean in scientific terms?
A transparent body that is bounded in part by two nonparallel plane faces and is used to refract or disperse a beam of light. (Merriam-Webster.com)
What force is used to fly a plane?
Thrust and lift are required to make a plane fly. A plane can use just lift if it is in the air already. The engines create thrust (if the aircraft has engines), and the wings create lift. Helicopters make lift by pushing air down, though.
What the difference between thrust and lift?
Thrust: How much power that is being used to go forward. Lift on the other hand: is how much power that is used to gain altitude, like in a rocket ship or a plane.
What part of a plane is used for climbing and descending?

How long can a jet fly with no fuel?
Jets can't fly without fuel. Fuel is used in the engines which produce THRUST. This thrust is what propels the plane foward. Without this thrust, the plane will not go fast enough to gain any lift and its weight and drag will pull it to the ground. It is way to heavy to be a glider, so it will not drift towards the ground but merely fall out ofthe sky. Go to http://www.aerospaceinfo.weebly.com/ for more information.
Why Thrust reversers are efficient when used at relatively high speeds after touch down of aircraft?
When going at the speeds planes have to go to maintain altitude, brakes on the wheels can't properly slow down the plane, and even when they can, they have to take quite a bit of physical abuse. Thrust reversers, on the other hand, don't harm much of the plane, and work even as the plane bounces slightly from touch-down.
The squat thrust can be used to measure agility?
No, a squat thrust is not used to measure a person's agility. The side step is used to measure their agility.
How was a sword used?
A sword was used to thrust and cut.
Can passenger planes go reverse?
A jet plane has "thrust reversers" which effectively fold the jet engine's thrust around to the front, and these are used at landing to slow the plane down quickly. They are not used, as far as I know, to push the plane backwards from a standing stop; I suspect they are not efficient enough to do that. Jet planes are usually "pushed back" from the gate by specially designed trucks. Propeller planes similarly have a mechanism for turning the propeller blades backward, to slow them down on landing; so I believe they can generally roll themselves backwards on the ground if required. Neither type of plane can fly backwards; the aerodynamics would be all wrong.
How do you determine which type of transformation could be used on a tile as part of the tessellating plane?
by saying no
Is thrust measured with newtons?
Yes. Any unit of force can be used to indicate the amount of thrust.
What part of speech is used to create parallel structure?
conjunction
What is a trust block?
I believe you mean a "thrust block," and a thrust block is a special form of thrust bearing used by ships in order to resist the thrust of the ship's propeller shaft and transfer it to the hull.
