To make a rubber band-powered engine, you'll need a few simple materials like a rubber band, a lightweight body (like a wooden stick or cardboard), and a propeller or axle. First, attach one end of the rubber band to the body and the other end to the propeller or axle. Then, twist the propeller to store energy in the rubber band. When released, the stored energy will turn the propeller, propelling the engine forward.

How do you make a rubber powered airplane fly?

Rubber powered airplanes fall into three types.The first is to use a rubber band as a sling attached to the front of the plane. When stretched and released the contracting band moves the plane forward and it soars upwards based on the aerodynamics of the wing.The second rubber band powered plane uses a twisted band attached to the propeller. the realising torsional energy as it unwinds turns the propelled and pulls the plane forward and it soars upwards based on the aerodynamics of the wing.As an alternate, a mixture of rubber powder and oxidant can be used in a rocket engine to thrust the plane forward.
