we've just learned about the basic parts of an airplane and how it is controlled but it's equally as important for us to understand how the power is generated to move the airplane through the air an airplane has an engine which is commonly referred to as a power plant the reason behind this name is simple the engine not only powers the airplane to move it through the air it also has other components attached to it in order to create electricity vacuum suction and heat just to name a few the power plant of an airplane like an engine of a car is one of the most important components because without it there is no way to get the plane off the ground aviation engines can be separated into two groups reciprocating engines and turbine engines while most airlines and corporate airplanes use turbine powered airplanes general aviation and training aircraft are equipped with reciprocating engines
