Ask an Explainer
Q:
What are some ways to increase thrust on a plane without using a jet engine?
A:
Add another propeller! Propellers provide thrust to an airplane by creating a high pressure behind and a lower pressure out in front. More or larger propellers could help increase thrust on an airplane, but be careful! A larger propeller means more weight and drag.
