What primarily powered the airplane used by the airline?
Solar energy
Steam
Electricity
Gasoline
Answer
The airplane used by the airline was primarily powered by gasoline, a highly flammable hydrocarbon fuel derived from crude oil. Gasoline provides a high energy output when burned, making it a suitable fuel for internal combustion engines like those found in most airplanes. The fuel, stored in specialized tanks within the aircraft, is efficiently combusted in the engines, generating thrust through the jet exhaust or propellers.
