Intercontinental aircraft intercontinental aircraft. According to the distance of the aircraft, there are short-range, medium-range and long-range aircraft. The long-range aircraft has a range of about 11,000 kilometers and can complete intercontinental transoceanic flight without landing. The range of medium-range aircraft is about 3000 kilometers, and the range of short-range aircraft is generally less than 1000 kilometers. Short-range aircraft are generally used in regional lines, so they are also called regional planes. Medium and long-range aircraft are generally used in domestic trunk lines and international routes, also known as trunk aircraft.

According to the types of aircraft engines, there are propeller aircraft and jet aircraft. Propeller aircraft, including piston propeller aircraft and turboprop aircraft, the aircraft engine is piston propeller aircraft, which is the most primitive form of power. It uses the rotation of the propeller to push the air behind the plane, and uses its reaction force to push the plane forward. The higher the propeller speed, the faster the flight speed.
