The rubber band stores potential energy when it is twisted. As it unwinds, this potential energy is converted into kinetic energy that makes the propeller turn and allows the plane to fly.
A propeller has mechanical energy, which is the sum of its kinetic and potential energy as it rotates and moves through the air or water.
Rubber band powered model airplanes fly by converting the potential energy stored in the stretched rubber band into kinetic energy, propelling the plane forward. As the rubber band unwinds, it turns a propeller, generating thrust that pushes the airplane through the air. The wings create lift as the plane moves forward, allowing it to stay aloft.
In a paper spiral, energy is transferred in the form of mechanical energy as the paper spiral unwinds and falls due to gravity. This mechanical energy is converted into kinetic energy as the spiral moves.
Potential energy is stored in a wound up spring of a clock. This potential energy is transformed into kinetic energy as the spring unwinds and powers the clock's movements.
A tightly wound spring stores potential energy. When the spring is released and unwinds, the potential energy is converted into kinetic energy as the spring moves and does work.
potential energy that gets converted into kinetic energy as the toy unwinds and moves. As the spring unwinds, the potential energy is transformed into mechanical energy, causing the toy to move.

You could, but then you would be generating additional drag. This would most likely require more energy to overcome than the energy generated by the windmilling propeller.

In a wind-up toy, mechanical energy is converted to potential energy when the spring is wound up. When the toy is released, the potential energy is converted back into mechanical energy as the spring unwinds, causing the toy to move. This movement can also create sound energy and some heat due to friction.
Technically, you are "producing" the energy, but I'm assuming you mean what is "storing" it. Clockwork works like this: you wind it up, and inside there is a spring which stores the energy, and as that spring unwinds, it moves gears to convert the energy into motion.~W
The energy stored in the spring of a pinball machine is potential energy. When the spring is released, this potential energy is converted into kinetic energy as the spring unwinds and propels the ball into motion.
Yes, a wound-up spring possesses potential energy due to the stored mechanical energy from being wound up. This potential energy can be converted into kinetic energy when the spring unwinds and moves.
The energy stored in a compressed spring of a wind-up toy is potential energy. As the spring unwinds, this potential energy is transformed into kinetic energy, causing the toy to move.
