Large fans called turbines burn
fuel and air together that make the
engines thrust.
The jet engines push the big planes
forward using streams of hot gas.
It's called action/reaction. The engine
uses fuel and air which pushes
airplanes forward. The engine has
something called a nozzle.
Some jet plane engines
are called gas turbines.
The engine sucks air at the
front with a fan. The compressed air raises the
pressure of the air, also the compressed air
is sprayed with fuel, and blast
out through nozzle at the back of
the engine. That is how a
engine works.
What do these have in common?...
What do rockets and jet planes have in common?
Both rocket and jet planes
function by expelling hot
gases. The plane and rocket
both eject this fuel mass to
gain momentum. They both
burn fuel.
Rockets obviously both have
engines. They don't have propellers
either they run on fuel! They also work
on propulsion. They both can go a long
way.
A jet plane and a rocket have wings, are used for people to fly
in them and have wheels! That
is what a jet plane and a rocket have
in common.
How high can a manned plane fly?
The plane called Wightnight can
fly between 15,200 and 50,000 ft high with
a man in the plane. A civilian passenger jet can fly between 30,000 and 39,000 ft high. A small
plane can fly 2000 ft high. Propeller planes
fly to 20,000 ft high.If a plane flies as high as
49,000 ft with passengers on board they will all need an oxygen mask on!
So that is how high a manned plane can fly.
