    The document compares and contrasts aircraft and spacecraft. It notes that aircraft use propeller or jet engines for thrust, have wheels for landing on runways, and wings to provide lift and allow for landing. Spacecraft, on the other hand, use rocket engines to release burned fuel for propulsion in the airless environment of space and have heat shields to protect passengers when re-entering the atmosphere. Both aircraft and spacecraft have streamlined bodies to reduce air resistance and control surfaces like ailerons and elevators to control flight.

    Aircraft vs.

    Spacecraft

    AIRCRAFT
    Propeller or
    jet engines -
    provide
    thrust
    Wheels - for
    landing on
    the runway

    Both
    Streamlined/
    Aerodynamic
    bodies
    reduce air
    resistance
    Wings for
    lift and
    landing
    Engines
    Propulsion
    Wheels for
    landing
    Ailerons &
    Elevators to
    control flight

    SPACECRAFT
    Rocket engines -
    release burned
    fuel for
    propulsion, as
    no air in space
    Heat Shields - to
    protect
    passengers
    upon re-entry
    Various design
    stages
