The primary purpose of a plane engine is to generate thrust, which propels the aircraft forward through the air.
2. To provide lift
In addition to generating thrust, some plane engines also provide lift, which is the force that opposes gravity and keeps the aircraft in the air.
3. To generate power
Plane engines also generate power for various onboard systems, such as the electrical system, hydraulics, and air conditioning.
4. To provide cooling
The engine also acts as a cooling system for the aircraft, dissipating heat generated by the engine itself and other components.
5. To reduce noise
Modern plane engines incorporate advanced noise-reduction technologies to minimize aircraft noise and meet environmental regulations.
