Where is the engine of an aeroplane situated?

Question

Where is the engine of an aeroplane situated?

Answer 1

On small single-engine piston powered aircraft, the engine is normally under a cowling on the front of the nose, right behind the propeller.  Twin engine piston and turbine-powered aircraft typically have one engine per wing.  Jet aircraft will normally suspend the engines from the wings, or situate them on the rear of the fuselage near the tail.

Answer 2

On the front.  Unless it's on the back.  Or under the wing, except when they are on the tail cone.  Or inside the fuselage.  Or inside the wings.  Or somewhere else.

How old are you, Raja?  And where are you from?  Are you sure aeroplanes really exist?  Or is it your imagination?  Is there any way for you to get out some more?  Maybe some new glasses would help.

In any case, we wish you the best...

Answer 3

Again, it depends on the type of aircraft.....

Answer 4

Aircraft with an odd number of engines will always have one engine situated along the centerline of the aircraft.  For small propeller-driven aircraft with one engine, the engine is usually at the front of the plane, in front of the cockpit.

For military fighter aircraft with one engine, the engine is usually inside the fuselage, with an air intake at the front of the aircraft, and an exhaust at the rear.

When airplanes have more than one engine, the engines are mounted symmetrically on both wings, or at the back of the fuselage, or inside the fuselage in the case of fighter aircraft.  If an odd number of engines are used, one of the engines will be on the centerline of the aircraft, as described above.

Modern airliners typically mount engines beneath the wings, and have an even number of engines (the older 727, L-1011, and DC-10 airliners had one of their three engines in the tail as well). The engines are beneath the wings because most of the lifting force generated by the wings comes from diverting air flowing above the wing—putting the engines below thus interferes less with this generation of lift. Sometimes the engines are mounted directly inside the wings (de Havilland Comet, Lockheed SR-71).

Answer 5

Depends on the type of aircraft... some are attached to the wings, other have engines attached to the tail.

Answer 6

Some are mounted on the wing such as a 757 747

Others have all the engines mounted in the back such as the 717

Planes like the 727 have all the engines in the back and one on the tail

The MD-11 have two engines on the wing and one mounted on the tail.
