please tell me how aeroplane works and what type of engine is used?

Answer 1

Wow, some odd answers before this one, but some of the points were correct. So hopefully this will sum up everything you wanted to know.

A plane gets lift by the air being forced over top of a wing at a greater speed then below it, this causes a pressure drop above the wing and literally pulls the wing up. The greater the speed of the air above the wing = more lift.

Gliders work a little differently since they are taking advantage of thermals rising from the ground (warm air rises and takes anything within it up), but the same principle is true with that wing also.

Any type of engine on an aircraft will either push or pull the airplane (thrust) through the atmosphere to allow it to get enough lift to stay afloat in the air. Jets compress and super heat air to give an aircraft thrust, and props (are actually little wings) give the aircraft forward motion through the air as well.


If you have anymore questions about this, drop me an e-mail.

Answer 2

The jet engine pushes the plane forward. When the plane goes forward the shape of the wings and the the plane make the fast moving air push the plane up. The plane is shaped in the way that makes the air push in the right directions. That's why they called it aerodynamics.

The jet engines make the plane move by blowing air out but it's the air that the plane is actually crashing into that pushes the plane up.

Answer 3

Every thing bikinlaw said plus it's the perfect design to fit in a motorcycle frame. People call them antiques and then brag up In-Line Fours. If they did any research they would find the Fours maybe older than the Vs. Henry put them in his Model T and Model A, plus farm tractors, air compressers, welding machines etc. The V shape is still very popular, V8s, V6s, V-twins (both metric and American). Boxer engines, opposed engines, and radial engines aren't anyway near as popular as a V design.

Answer 4

The engines pushes the airplane forward and the wings pushes the air downwards (which means that the air pushes the wing upwards) when the plane moves forward through the air.

This is to large subject to explain in short terms, so I give you a link instead.

Answer 5

-----The passage of air over the wing--airfoil--creates lift; the airplane moves up. Any engine, or no engine (glider) can be used as long as air passes over the wing, thus creating lift. ---Jim
