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.
