The wings of an aeroplane use the air to hold up the plane. The Earth's atmosphere does not extend into space, it ends about 200 miles up. Planes cannot function without air. Therefore, space travel is done by means of rockets rather than planes.
Jet engines require oxygen to operate. They do not have their own source of the gas like space rockets have. Most are not equipped to handle the cold and pressures (lack of it) found in space.
What else can I help you with?
If aircraft fly in space why not aeroplanes?
Only specialized aircraft fly in space - airplanes are not pressurized or shielded the way rockets and the space shuttle are, so they can't go into space.
Can an airplane go to space?
No. Airplanes need air to fly. The wing shape when passing through the air, creates more pressure on the bottom of the wing than on the top creating lift. In space there is no air and so airplanes will not work.
What is the differences between space shuttles and airplanes?
both travle to space
What is the difference between airplanes flight and space flight?
Airplane stay Inside The Atmosphere. Spaceships Dont, They Go Outside Of The Atmosphere
What is the largest hardware manufacturer?
It is the manufacture of airplanes and space ships.
Can airplanes fly into space?
No. Airplanes cannot fly into space. They need air to hold them up. That's the purpose of the wings on both sides. They also need oxygen to burn their fuel. The airplane can't go anyplace where the air isn't thick enough to support the wings or where it lacks enough oxygen for the fuel. In space, there's no air at all.
What is the force that prevents objects on on or close to earth from getting lost in space such as the space station space shuttles or airplanes?
Gravity.
What is the difference between a rocket and an airplane?
Rockets carry their own fuel and oxygen for propulsion, allowing them to operate in space where there is no atmosphere. Airplanes rely on engines that require oxygen from the atmosphere to generate thrust and lift. Rockets go to space, while airplanes fly within Earth's atmosphere.
Is aeronautical engineering a example of basic science?
No. It it a branch of enineering sciencs, that studies space, and the sky. there fore airplanes, and space crafts.
What airplanes do the airforce use?
Military airplanes with big, powerful jet engines and lots of things that go boom!
How many miles do airplanes go?
Depends on the destination
What makes a paper airplanes go fast?
