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.


Is thrust a push or pull?

It can be either or. In terms of on aircraft, it depends on where an engine is located on an airplane. Engines on the wings of an aircraft (like a DC-3 or a Hercules cargo airplane) generate a push. Engines on a CF-18 Hornet or an F-15 Phantom are also engines that generate a push-type of thrust because the engine is located closer to the rear of the fuselage. However, single-prop airplanes like a Cessna bush plane or a Spit-fire generate more of a pulling thrust since the engine is in front of the fuselage.


How do bees generate thrust?

Bees generate thrust by rapidly moving their wings in a figure-eight pattern. This movement creates vortexes of air that help propel the bee forwards. Additionally, the angle and shape of the wings contribute to the generation of thrust as the bee flies.


What makes smaller airplanes go faster than bigger airplanes?

There are four factors that are exerted on airplanes. Thrust, Drag, Gravity and lift. Lift must be higher then gravity to make a plane go up. Thrust be be stronger then drag to make a plane go faster. As a plane becomes larger, more drag is added to the plane. This requires more thrust to maintain the same speed. So, as a plane gets larger the amount of power an engine must produce goes up drastically. Small planes with the same horsepower or thrust ratings will alays be able to go faster.


How do planes generate thrust?

Planes generate thrust by using jet engines or propellers. Jet engines work by taking in air, compressing it, mixing it with fuel, and igniting it to produce a high-speed exhaust that propels the plane forward. Propellers create thrust by rapidly spinning and moving air backwards to create a forward force.

What is the kind of spinner used to give thrust to some airplanes?

The spinner alone gives no thrust. The shape of the propeller is what moves the air and gives thrust.

What is the difference between the wright brothers' airplane and the airplanes today?

the wright brothers airplane was powered by a propeller that generated lift through a bi-winged design while modern airplanes are powered by jet engines that generate thrust in turn making lift over a single wing design


What are the names of the forces involved in flying airplanes?

Is the upward force on a airplane wing is thrust?

Thrust is the forward motion of the airplane provided by the engines. Lift is the upward force on an airplanes wing.

How thrust is produced in Boeing 747?

Four GE turbofan engines generate 56,000 pounds of thrust each. This adds to 224,000 pounds of thrust altogether.
