What is the difference in propultion between an airplane a spacecraft?

A spacecraft need a rocket engine (which is powered by on-board oxygen and fuel) to propel itself, an airplane only needs a jet engine (which only needs on-board fuel as it uses oxygen form the air).


What is the difference between propulsion and thrust?

Propulsion refers to the overall mechanism of moving an object forward, while thrust specifically refers to the force pushing an object in the opposite direction of its movement. In simpler terms, propulsion is the system that generates thrust to propel an object forward.

How does gravity affect the launch of spacecraft from earth?

Gravity affects the launch of spacecraft from Earth by pulling the spacecraft back towards Earth. The spacecraft must overcome this gravitational force through its propulsion system to successfully launch and enter into orbit. A balance between the force of gravity and the propulsion system is required for a successful launch.

What are The differences between a turbofan and a propeller?

A propeller is completely external and is the main source of propulsion for a airplane with a piston or turbojet engine. A turbofan is more enclosed and provides some propulsion along with also cooling the jet engine that is the main source of propulsion.
