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.

                      One-line joke

                      A one-liner is a joke that is delivered in a single line. A good one-liner is said to be pithy - concise and meaningful. [1] Comedians and actors use this comedic method as part of their act, e.g. Jimmy Carr, Tommy Cooper, Rodney Dangerfield, Norm Macdonald, Ken Dodd, Stewart Francis, Zach Galifianakis, Mitch Hedberg, Anthony Jeselnik, Milton Jones, Shappi Khorsandi, Jay London, Mark Linn-Baker, Demetri Martin, Groucho Marx, Dan Mintz, Emo Philips, Tim Vine, Steven Wright and Henny Youngman and Arnold Schwarzenegger. [ citation needed ] Many fictional characters are also known to deliver one-liners, including James Bond, who usually includes pithy and laconic quips after disposing of a villain. [ citation needed ] Examples "A baby seal walks into a club." "A dyslexic man walks into a bra." (Anonymous) "There are three types of people, those who can count and those who can't." "Venison's dear, isn't it?" (Jimmy Carr) "An escala...
