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.
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.
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.
They both rise up off the ground
enginners build rockets, airplanes, ect.
Balloons, airplanes, and rockets are things that go up.
Both airplanes and rockets rely on the principles of aerodynamics and propulsion to achieve flight, but they operate in different environments. Airplanes fly within the Earth's atmosphere, using wings to generate lift and engines to provide thrust, while rockets operate both in the atmosphere and in space, relying on Newton's third law of motion for thrust. Unlike airplanes, rockets do not require air to generate lift and can travel at much higher speeds, making them essential for reaching outer space. Additionally, airplanes typically require runways for takeoff and landing, whereas rockets launch vertically and can land on various surfaces or return to Earth through controlled descent.
Generations of dreamers. Airplanes, submarines, rockets to the moon -and beyond! What a WILD imagination!
magnesium is used for airplanes, bombs, photography, engine parts, shuttles and rockets.
because without the wings the plane would be unstable and crash. by:jake tompson
Designing airplanes, helicopters, rockets, satellites, spacecraft, and/or any of the subsystems that go into such systems.
Yes, there are thousands of different airplanes.
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.
