Remember this!
Airplane and jet are both types of flying vehicles used for transportation. However, the main difference between them is their propulsion system and speed. Airplanes can use either propellers or jet engines, while jets exclusively use jet engines, making them faster and more powerful. Additionally, jets are often larger and used for military or commercial purposes, while airplanes can also include smaller private planes for personal use.
