Basically do they move themselves using their powerful jet/propeller engines to propel themselves forward or do they just use an engine that powers the wheels used for landing?



I'm not really asking about planes that are readying for takeoffs just the ones that move on the ground like a car would.

The power to move an aircraft from point A to point B on an airport is provided by the same engines that power it in flight unless you you hook up a tug, in which case the tug provides the power. There have been experimental developments that provide power to the main landing gear wheels, but there has never been any real implementation of these systems. Small single-engine aircraft can be moved by hand.

    Planes use a tiller. A tiller is a piece of equipment beside the yoke (at least, on Boeing aircraft) that looks like this. It moves the wheels while the pilots control the engines to provide thrust. I found this thread that should provide more answers to your question.

Sugar confectionery includes candies ( sweets in British English), candied nuts, chocolates, chewing gum, bubble gum, pastillage, and other confections that are made primarily of sugar.
