The Engine of an aircraft is the part or component that works as a pushing(propulsion) system for the aircraft by which mechanical power is generated. The engines of an aircraft come in two types one is the piston, and the second one is a gas turbine(turbo engine). 1930 was the year when Frank Whittle invented the first aircraft turbojet engine.
Generally, commercial airplanes, the aircraft use four engines to fly. Engines of commercial aircraft fly from one continent to another in a couple of hours. The engines used in commercial aircraft are 2x times bigger in size than the aircraft which only fly in the country.
These engines are powerful and reliable, which is important for long travel. The Engine of the aircraft is also known as an aero engine. The big aircraft like boeing777 use big dual engines, the GE90-115B engine.
It helps aircraft to travel from one continent to another smoothly and safely because of its powerful engines. Engines in the aircraft are placed below an aircraft's wings, which allow aircraft thrust to push or speed up the aircraft towards forwarding direction by air.
The aircraft which fly in the air at low speed use a fan on the nose of the aircraft to push the aircraft instead of using turbo engines.
