Ask an Explainer
Q:
Are airplanes with one propeller different from those with two?
A:
Usually, planes have two propellers if they are larger. Small planes with just a nose propeller do not need as much thrust to move forward. Having two propellers allows the plane to carry more, as it has more thrust.
Usually you find a one propeller plane with a propeller over the nose, and a two propeller plane with the propellers under the wings.
