An airplane or aeroplane (informally plane) is a powered fixed-wing aircraft that is propelled forward by thrust from a jet engine or propeller. Airplanes come in a variety of sizes‚ shapes‚ and wing configurations. The broad spectrum of uses for airplanes includes recreation‚ transportation of goods and people‚ military‚ and research. Most airplanes are flown by a pilot on board the aircraft‚ but some are designed to be remotely or computer-controlled. Etymology and usage First attested in

Aircraft Mechanics are also known as: Airframe or Power Plant Mechanics and Avionics or Aviation Technicians. As a valued and critical member of an airline’s chain of operations‚ the primary responsibility of this professional is aircraft preventive maintenance that ensures peak operation‚ performance‚ and safety. This is achieved through aircraft servicing‚ repairing‚ overhauling‚ and testing. A Mechanic performs all required maintenance and inspections of aircraft engines‚ landing gear‚ pressurized

Turbine-powered Turboprop A turboprop engine is a type of turbine engine which drives an aircraft propeller using a reduction gear. The gas turbine is designed specifically for this application‚ with almost all of its output being used to drive the propeller. The engine’sexhaust gases do not contain enough energy‚ compared to a jet engine‚ to create significant thrust in the propulsion of the aircraft.The propeller is coupled to the turbine through a reduction gear that converts the high RPM‚ low torque output

Automobile Engineering Automobile is a self-propelling device. It has a source of power (IC engine) and a power train to transmit the power from the engine to the wheels in order to move. An IC engine propels cars‚ buses‚ trucks‚ scooters‚ locomotives‚ ships‚ planes‚ etc. General categories: 1. Load carriers or single unit vehicles: These are commercial four-wheel type – two-axle design. Front axle for steering and rear axle for driving the vehicle. Passenger cars‚ buses‚ trucks and lorries
