Airplanes use oil and oil products as a lubricant on various assemblies. Note also that jet fuel (jp-5 and others) are petroleum products as is kerosene.
Airplanes have engines, and engines use oil therefore airplanes use oil. Shell makes ten different aviation oils--six for piston engines, four for turbines.Answer
Good question and not as stupid as some observers think. Jet engines use the oil to not only lubricate but also to cool. The engine is designed so the air pressure is routed from the high pressure compressor and is directed so that it pushes the oil through the engine. As the oil is forced past bearings and seals it lubricates and is then directed towards the rear and past the turbine portion of the engine. Some oil is collected and then routed to a cooler(engineers call a heat exchanger) and prepares it to be recirculated. However, some oil is forced out the tail pipe and burned in the jet's exhaust. This explains why the tail pipe looks burned.
Landing Gears use a form of oil inside them to make them work. The strut is designed to absorb the forces during landing. As the gear is compressed, it forces oil from one chamber to another by passing it through a small orifice that restricts the flow.
Hydraulic Fluid is a form of oil. The hydraulic system operates at 3000 psi typically and this fluid pressure operates the hydraulic actuators that control the flaps and ailerons.

What differs nitro airplanes from other airplanes?
Nitro airplanes usually use a different kind of fuel than that of other planes. Some of these planes use castrol oil, regular oil, or diesel, it just depends on the plane.
Which oil or lubricant use in bearing of airplane?
Check the lubrication order for your airplane, because not all airplanes use the same lubricants.
Why do you use model airplanes?
People use model airplanes because they like airplanes or the look of them.
Why did World War 1 use airplanes?
i think why they use airplanes toprotect them
How do airplanes affect earth?
They use corn syrup for oil and it really messes things up. I have a friend who is a fighter pilot and he's gay.
How are airplanes and hovercrafts are similar?
They both (some airplanes do) use propeller's.
What oil is used for aeroplanes?
Petrol is used in airplanes...a lot of it.
Does the navy use airplanes?
The US Navy, as well as the navies of other nations make use of airplanes. The airplanes are often deployed from aircraft carriers. The navy does not necessarily have the same types of or capacity for airplanes as, say, the Air Force.
Why are hydrocarbons used for fuel in stovescars and airplanes?
Airplanes use a fuel called kerosene.
How do we use aerodynamcis?
we use them everyday in airplanes, cars.
What did Wilbur wright do?
He invented airplanes and tested if it's working and let peoples use his airplanes.
Do Airplanes Use Fuels?
Airplanes do use fuel, called aviation fuel. When crude oil is processed thro distillation process , first to come out is grades of diesel, then kerosene, then petrol. After distillation, what remains is tar etc. Aviation fuel is similar to diesel, that is, petrol is more pure than aviation fuel..
