Physics Question

i see what you’re trying to get at but the types of locomotion are simliar. the energy is just applied to different methods of creating ‘thrust’. a car sends energy to the crankshaft which in turns the driveshaft spinning the wheels. a plane applies energy to the crankshaft which is applied to the propeller. a jet engine just provides a large amount of force in one direction (oh guess what, land speed record cars use jet engines!) so my statement is still valid.
