The type of "push" most commonly of interest in aircraft are from reaction-based engines which create needed forward thrust to produce lift. The reaction that creates the thrust is implicit in the name "aircraft"; a common illustration would be the blade of a propeller pushing against air; the force of the reaction against the blade pulls on the aircraft by virtue of the fixed connection to the engine; the consequent motion of air across the lift surfaces (typically, wings) generate the lift. Other devices which create this reaction include jet engines, turboprops, rocket engines (rarely), and the like.

A rotating device that pushes along a ship or aircraft?
a propeller
What is a rotating device that pushes along a ship or aircraft?
a engine
What is the rotating device that pushes along a ship or aircraft?
It is the propeller.
What do you call a rotating device that pushes along a ship or aircraft?
propeller.
What rotating device is used that pushes along a ship or aircraft?
propeller
How does a propeller driven aircraft fly?
The propeller pushes or pulls the aircraft forward, once sufficient forward speed is attained the wing can produce lift and the aircraft flies.
What is aircraft propeller?
A propeller is the object on the aircraft that rotates to produce thrust almost like a fan makes wind... it aims the wind behind it and pushes the aircraft forward
How does thrust and lift help an airplane fly?
Lift keeps an aircraft up, thrust pushes it forward.
Describe how an airplane stays in the air?
This is interesting: The engines produce forward thrust, which in turn makes the aircraft go forward. The wings are airfoil-shaped, so, when the aircraft moves forward they push air downward, which in turn pushes the aircraft upwards.
How aircraft fly?
Aircraft fly based on the principal of lift. Lift is the force that pushes a plane up. A wing is curved, which means the air flowing over the top of the wing is moving slower than the air moving under the wing. This faster moving air pushes up on the wing and the plane, making it fly.
How does the air craft propulsion system work with the air to move the plane?
The propulsion system of an aircraft moves the air backward. Air in turn pushes the aircraft forward. This is based on the Third Law of Newton.
How does the propeller on a light aircraft make the plane move?
It works in the same way as a fan it pushes air due to the angle or pitch of the blades
