Why would an aircraft be unable to fly on the moon ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
An aircraft needs air because (i) air moving under the wings of aircraft is strong enough to hold it up, and (ii) air burns the fuel in aircraft engines. Since there is no air on moon, an aircraft cannot fly on the moon.
