B1.2 Piston airplanes
Fixed wing: aircraft with piston engines
Piston engines: (also known as reciprocating engines) use technology fundamentally similar to those used by cars and motorcycles, where the pistons in the cylinders are used to build driving force into propulsion, turning the pressure into a rotary motion. These engines always move a propeller.
