Pending on the type of engine, most are pull engines, the engine pulls (or pushes) the plane along. As it starts to gain speed, the quick air flow underneath the wings provides lift so that it can fly. Then if you took the engines away in mid flight (hypothetically), the plane would eventually slow down and start to lose its lift under the wings, then eventually crash or land (depending on how good the pilot is). So the engine provides the ability to stay in flight with heavier aircraft such as the F-16 or P-51 just for examples for much longer periods of time as compared to gliders.
What else can I help you with?
Are the planes with six engines passenger planes?
Usaly
Are jets planes?
Yes, jets are planes but jets are mostly known as supersonic planes.
WType of engine in aircraft?
Smaller planes have piston engines, but bigger planes like the Boeing 717-777 and other planes have turbine engines
What makes jet planes fly?
its engines
How many engines in one airplane?
You have to have at least one. (If you don't have an engine, your are classified as a glider.) The largest planes typically run 4 or 6 jet engines. Most planes have 1,2,3,4 or 6 engines. Very large aircraft sometimes have more. There are propeller planes, turbo prop and jet engines. There are also VTOL Vertical TakeOff and Landing planes, such as the Harrier and Osprey
What was made first planes or jets?
Planes powered by internal combustion engines came first.
What propels air planes?
The engines propel the airplanes.

Do glider planes have engines?
No, that's what makes them gliders.
Can passenger planes with 2 engines fly with 1 engine broke?
It depends on where the engines are if its on the wings then no
How do jet planes fly?
Jet planes fly with the help of Thrust and Lift produced by the jet engines.
What combustion engines were used in world war 2 planes?
Gasoline-fueled piston engines and turbojets.
