Why is an aircraft engine called a powerplant?
normally the engines of jet aircraft are called POWERPLANTS...why???
Most industries will have certain "words" or "terms" used specifically in that industry. It's just part of the professional jargon used in the airline business.
For example: The airlines call the place where the pilot works, the "flight deck", railroaders call the "locomotives" a "prime mover", soldiers call their "rifle" a "weapon", people who put information into computers are called "data entry" employees.
It's all simply the specific way different industries call or name different things.

A lot of people have serious issues about flying, stern enough to stay away from airplanes all at the same time. Though in some cases, almost everybody has their own reasons to fly, for business trip, visit family members in other places or simply to have a nice vacation to a tropical island. If you are not comfortable with flying, you can generally opt for other things, either you overcome your fear or continue to avoid activities related to flying.

Other ways to befriend your fear is to deal with it and accept naturally. There is no other way that will best help you in your undertaking but to face it.

Once you get used to it, this will no longer become an irritating and scary sound but rather a lovely music to your ears.
It also helps if you try to mingle with other people that share the same predicament like yours. Joining a group or counseling sessions can make you more comfortable dealing with your phobia.
