How does a fighter jet fly with out a propeller?
Jet fighters are called JET fighter because they all have jet engines. Most jet engines, like the ones used on all modern jet fighters, do not have propellers. The jet engine pretty much does the job of conventional propellers. While propeller would generate a huge amount of thrust for the fighters (some jet engines on non-fighter aircrafts have propellers), propellers are not very effective at higher speeds. Once you hit higher speeds, there's a whole other level of complications with stability and fluid flow that gets added to the problem that propellers are simply not meant for. So if you want a fast, supersonic jet, propellers are not an option. Jet engines (like turbojets and turbofans) is currently the way to go for fighter aircrafts.
Did the wright brothers ever put propellers on any of their planes?
The Wright Brothers put propellers on all of their planes. There were no jet engines then.
What is the difference between a plane and a jet?
A Jet plane has no propellers. (Actually, there are 'prop-jets' on which propellers are powered by jet engines.)There is basically no difference in the airplane. The engines are different and sometimes the design of the wings or fuselage is different to allow for the different type engines. For example, early single-engine jets had their engines embedded within the fuselage so the air flow entered the nose or just under the wings and exited the tail after being ignited.Another difference is that Jet aircraft usually fly faster than propellor. The wings on propellor a/c are usually straight whereas the wings of jets are slanted aft. This improves aerodynamics when the jet approaches the speed of sound.
Did the b-36 jet engines use jet fuel or the same gas as the 4360 engines?
The jet engines used jet fuel, not gasoline as the 6 main engines did.
What is the difference between jet and airplane?
Any fixed-wing aircraft with an engine is an airplane. There are different kinds: piston-engine airplanes have piston engines driving propellers, (airplane engines are horizontally-opposed, like the engine in an old Volkswagen), turboprop airplanes have turbine engines with gearboxes that drive propellers, and jet airplanes have turbine engines that move the plane directly. So, factually, a jet is a type of engine on an airplane. However, over time, aircraft with jet engines have often been referred to as "jets."
Who put propellers on the airplanes in World War 1?
The aircraft mechanics usually put propellors on.
Is a combustion engine or a jet engine more efficient?
can't be sure, but i would definably say jet engine, or else they would use combustion engines with propellers on every airplane
Are jets aircraft?
Aircraft that can break the sound barrier, yes they are jets. Aircraft are jets if they are powered by jet engines, as opposed to piston engines which have propellers.
What is the function of the main jet in a small engine carburetor?
function of jet in carburettor
Are rockets and jet engines the same?
No. Jet engines draw oxygen from the atmosphere to mix and burn with jet fuel, and cannot function in a vacuum. Rockets carry their own oxygen, and can travel in the vacuum of space.
How much faster are planes then cars?
According to studies, airplanes are 9 times faster than cars. It is because they are powered with greater thrust by propellers and jet engines.
Are there stick shifts in airplanes?
No, they aren't needed because the few airplanes with geared propellers have single-speed gearboxes. Most aircraft either directly drive the prop off the engine's crankshaft, or they use jet engines which power the plane without propellers.
