How does a propeller vehicle use air resistance?

A propeller vehicle uses air resistance to generate forward thrust. As the propeller spins, it creates a pressure difference between the front and back of the propeller, causing the vehicle to move forward. The air resistance acts against the motion of the propeller, helping to propel the vehicle forward.


What makes a propeller spin?

A propeller is connected to a drive shaft which is connected to an engine that runs the same way as a car


Why does a bigger propeller go slower than a little propeller?

A bigger propeller moves more air with each rotation but at a slower speed, which can result in slower overall speed. A smaller propeller moves less air per rotation but at a faster speed, which can lead to faster overall speed.


How do you build a Rubberband propelled car?

To build a rubber band propelled car, you will need a chassis (can be made of wood or lightweight plastic), wheels, rubber bands, a propeller (can be made of a straw or a wooden dowel), and something to wind up the rubber band like an axle. Attach the wheels to the chassis, wind up the rubber band around the axle, and attach the propeller. When you release the rubber band, it will unwind and propel the car forward.


How does a propeller produce thrust?

A propeller is like a spinning wing. The airfoil shaped blades pull an airplane forward just as an airplane's wings lift it upward. The amount of thrust created by a propeller depends on how fast and at what angle its blades cut through the air. The propeller is generally powered by a combustion engine which fires pistons and turns the propeller.

Who built the first plane that had a motor and a propeller?

If you mean "the first plane that had a motor and propeller, and could fly" then it was the Wright Brothers. If you're not worried about the thing being able to fly, there were LOTS of guys who made propeller planes that couldn't fly.
