A rocket flies based solely on power. It may have some small airfoils for guidance control but no airfoi;s that produce lift. An airplane, on the other hand, uses large wing surfaces to produce lift causing flight. Airplanes still require some power to achieve flight but flight is maintained with a combination of power and lift.
What else can I help you with?
Are rockets smaller than airplanes?
It depends. There are model rockets, which of course are smaller than airplanes. Then there are full scale rockets, which are larger than some airplanes. For example, the Space Shuttle Discovery is very large-bigger than most propeller planes and some commercial airliners. But Discovery is also transported on top of a 747. So depending on the rocket, or the airplane you are comparing it to, rockets can be both larger and smaller than airplanes.
What do airplanes and rockets have in common?
Airplanes and rockets are both vehicles designed for travel through the air/space. They both use propulsion systems to generate thrust for movement and wings/fins for stabilization and control. Both airplanes and rockets rely on aerodynamics principles for lift and propulsion.
What is the similarities for airplanes and rockets?
They both rise up off the ground
Some engineer's facts?
enginners build rockets, airplanes, ect.
What are things that go up?
Balloons, airplanes, and rockets are things that go up.
What did Galileo inspire?
Generations of dreamers. Airplanes, submarines, rockets to the moon -and beyond! What a WILD imagination!
What are some uses for magnesium?
magnesium is used for airplanes, bombs, photography, engine parts, shuttles and rockets.
Why do rockets need wings?
because without the wings the plane would be unstable and crash. by:jake tompson
What is aerospace design engineering?
Designing airplanes, helicopters, rockets, satellites, spacecraft, and/or any of the subsystems that go into such systems.
Is ther diffrent airplanes?
Yes, there are thousands of different airplanes.
Does a rocket have a steering wheel?
No, rockets do not have steering wheels like cars or airplanes. Rockets are controlled using onboard computers and guidance systems that adjust the direction by changing the thrust of rocket engines.
What are the different types of air transportation?
There are various types of air transportation such as commercial aircraft, privet planes, amphibious aircraft, helicopters, lighter than aircraft, hot air balloons, blimps, zeppelins, airplanes, and rockets.
