The reason jet aircraft are so fast is because of the Thrust produced from the powerful engines. A jet engine has a lot more power than a typical propeller engine. The thrust of the engine basically comes from taking intake air and compressing it many times over and pushing it out of the rear of the engine. As you know, it is much easier to push something than it is to try and pull it. Propeller aircraft pull the plane forward whereas a jet is pushed forward. These engines are so powerful that any commercial aircraft is able to takeoff and land on only one engine with a full load of passengers, cargo and fuel. (Some of these aircraft weigh as much as 100 ton's empty) I hoped this helped you a little. There is not enough time or space to teach you the operations of a jet engine.

How fast can a jet plane travel per hour at slow speed?
It depends on weight, wing span stall speed
Jet plane speed?
Jet airliners travel at about 500mph
Speed of jet plane?
Mach 3.7
What is a very fast jet?
The F-18 is a very fast plane
What force propels a jet plane?
The force of the jet engine propels a jet plane. The force of the engine pushes the exhaust gasses backward at great speed and the plane moves forward. This force propels the jet plane.
What is the fastest speed of a jet plane?
2,193.167 by the Lockhead SR-71A is the fastest for a jet plane the fastest by any plane was 4,520 by a rocket plane though
Is a jet as fast as lightning?
A high-speed jet is nowhere near as fast as a lightning bolt.
If you circled the world in one day at what speed would you have to go in a jet plane?
depends on what jet and how fast ANSWER The Earth's circumference is about 40,000 km (kilometres). To circle it in one day you would need to travel this many km in 24 hours or 1670 km/hr in a jet, a jet boat, a very fast car or anything that will go that fast.
Does super speed exist?
Yes,it does exist.There is a kind of jet called a Super Sonic Jet that can travel at the speed of sound.As far as the character goes,no.
What is another word for a very fast plane?
a jet. a fighterjet
Does super-sonic speed exist?
Yes,it does exist.There is a kind of jet called a Super Sonic Jet that can travel at the speed of sound.As far as the character goes,no.
A jet plane traveling at a speed of 82 miles per hour is traveling at what speed in meters per second?
Apart from the fact that a jet plane would stall at that low a speed, the speed is equivalent to 36.657 metres per sec
