Which engine used in airplane?
Ordinary jet engines are used on aircrafts. But some planes require turbojet engines. These planes fly at more than the speed of sound. There are other type of airplane types too.
What keeps an airplane moving forward?
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.
Name of petrol used for airplane?
aviation gasoline, it is used because of its combustion power
Is a turbojet engine the same as a jet engine?
Nothing, the are the same thing. Jet is just the shorter way of saying it. However, there is a difference between a turbofan and turbojet. A turbofan has a large fan at the front of the engine where as a turbojet doesn't have this fan. Turbofans are mainly used in modern commercial airliners where as turbojets were used in older commercial airliners and are now used on fighter jets.
Is there a fighter jet that uses turbojet engine?
Most if not all fighter jets use turbojet engines as they are the most efficient. The either use just the turbojet engine or it is modified to have a afterburner which causes the flame that you sometimes see at the back of jet fighters. One famous example is the F-14A Tomcat which was used in the film Topgun.

Name of World War 2 airplane engine that begins with A?
Allison. As used in the P38 Lightning for example.
What is the distance of airplane?
Depends on the airplane size and engines used.
How does a turbojet engine work?
Axial Turbojet; Air enters the engine and goes through a compressor, increasing the air's pressure and temperature. The air then enters the combustor where it is mixed with fuel and ignited. Next, the hot gas expands and spins the turbine which powers the compressor. Finally, the exhaust passes through a convergent nozzle into the atmosphere, creating a high velocity jet which pushes the aircraft. Centrifugal Turbojet; Nearly the same as an axial-flow turbojet, the centrifugal-flow turbojet compresses the air by diverting it from the axis of flow. While this type of jet is simpler, lighter and cheaper than axial-flow, it is less efficient and can not handle as high a volume of air. Often a combination of axial and centrifugal compressors are used in modern jets.
