Powerplant 2 GTE

What is Thrust?

• Force that propels the airplane backward through the air

• Force that propels the airplane forward through the air

• Force that drags the airplane through the air

The force on an object that are same in all directions, causes the object not to move.

• Balanced forces (Equilibrium)

• Unbalanced Forces

Causes an object to move and make a thrust

• Balanced Forces (Equilibrium)

• Unbalanced Forces

The source of Power

• Hydraulics

• Engine

• Powerplant

This converts the energy from one form to another

• Engine

• Powerplant

• Pneumatic

It is an aircraft engine and its component parts, and other parts if necessary to properly install such an engine in an aircraft, but not the propeller.

• Propeller

• Powerplant

• Aircraft Engine

An engine used or intended to be used for propulsion of aircraft and includes all parts, appurtenances and accessories, other than propeller.
