Could an airplane (a Boeing for example), fly on another planet?

Could a 777 fly on Mars? Could It fly on Saturn?

If you know ANYTHING in relation to this, tell me!
With the airplane being transported to another planet Via ginormus space shuttle.....
RGTII...then what would happen if it tried to take off?

l think the 747 was built to fly in the sun is atmosphere

Aircraft fly because Earth has an atmosphere. You should look that up (atmoshphere). Additionally, the engines we use are based on compression and combustion (oxygen based).

So, no air (oxygen), no flying.

*Edit: It wo not move. The motors wo not produce thrust without oxygen.

The atmosphere would need to be similar, having near the same density and oxygen content. Aircraft like the Boeing use fuel they carry and oxygen in the atmosphere to burn it. From what l know of the atmospheres of the planets you listed, and the others in our solar system, no aircraft could fly. They could glide though, but for powered flight a rocket motor would be needed.

Air vehicals of any kind (helicopters included) need an atmosphere like ours to fly. So for example u took that big ole 777 to Mars. First off the engines would not even start, let alone fly. Mars has almost no oxygen. And in fact the atmosphere on Mars is so thin if a tornado (a martian tornado) were right on top of you, u would not even feel it. Even though the wind speeds of martian tornados r faster than on Earth. Its because the atmosphere on Mars is thin.

It would not fly on Saturn at all. First Saturn is very cold. About -170 celsius. So cold that the fuel needed to fly the plane would freeze solid. Second the air preasure on Saturn is huge it would crush the plane like it was not even a pop can. Third there is still no oxygen for combustion. The same would be true on any of the gas giants.

If u took the air plane to say venus. well then it'd just burn up or get blown up & crushed by Venus' nasty atmosphere. But Venus at least has a thick atmosphere - just no oxygen. Venus' atmosphere is full of carbon dioxide. So if for the sake of arguement if u could get a 777 to venus in tact, the engines still would not start because there would be no oxygen for combustion.

But for the sake of arguement. if u could get a 777 to venus & have it made so that it could stand the heat, air preasure & the super nasty weather & one that could some how get oxgyen to its engine then in theory it could fly.

Basically a 777 wo not fly on any other planet or moon in our solar system other than Earth.

ummm..i would say no because an engine is internal combustion, which requires a combination oxygen, heat, and fuel. heat and fuel is the easy part but l do not think the engine would start in mars. but the plane could glide if there is air.
also the heat there is so high that even if the engines would start, they would over heat.

Yes, the Boeings can operate on all class M planets.

actually it might not be that far off. they now have a jet engine that runs off carbon dioxide. it uses a magnesium powder instead of jet fuel. they have been testing it on differnet applications since 04.

it cant fly on it but it can fly over and in to

no becasue it wont go that high ther some planes that can fly in the straosphere l think rite above earth when u fly that hight your oxygen mask come out in the plain but no only a rocket can go that far or space ship

try to think of it, does the outer space have oxygen or Air? if it has then it can and if iscapableof flying with a pressure altitude of at least 100,000 feet??

No oxygen, no atmosphere, no gravity - no aircraft will fly (not even a 777).

Yes, it can fly - if there are enough oxygen, a right atmosphere composition, and some gravitational attraction, or otherwise it will fluctuate instead of fly. In other words, you need a very ''earthly'' planet, because very high gravitational forces will ground the plane. But it can not fly on Mars or Saturn for the reasons stated above - you need to search for another planet!
