Why do some airplanes need jet engines to fly?
It isn't a matter of why they need it! Some planes are just designed with jet engines! Jet engines take a small amount of air and push it out fast whereas props take a large amount of air and push it back slower! Some planes just have jet engines!
Are jets planes?
Yes, jets are planes but jets are mostly known as supersonic planes.
How many engines in one airplane?
You have to have at least one. (If you don't have an engine, your are classified as a glider.) The largest planes typically run 4 or 6 jet engines. Most planes have 1,2,3,4 or 6 engines. Very large aircraft sometimes have more. There are propeller planes, turbo prop and jet engines. There are also VTOL Vertical TakeOff and Landing planes, such as the Harrier and Osprey
What Rolls-Royce jet engines powered the Concorde?

Did the wright brothers ever put propellers on any of their planes?
The Wright Brothers put propellers on all of their planes. There were no jet engines then.
