Piston engines are commonly used in smaller aircraft and work by converting the energy produced by burning fuel into mechanical energy through the movement of pistons. This mechanical energy drives the propeller, which generates thrust and propels the plane forward. Piston engines are known for their reliability and are often used in general aviation and small commercial aircraft.
