If there was a remote control plane up in mid-air, inside a truck, but it was just still in one place, and all of a sudden the truck started to move, then would the plane move with the air inside the truck, or would it hit the back of the truck since it was still?

Wait. If the plane is in midair it's flying, right? Let's just say it's flying very slowly but it's not just still (motionless) in one place. Anyway, the truck and the air inside it would start to move. The inertia of the plane means it would lag this movement and thus drift toward the rear of the truck. It might hit the back, or the pilot might be able to correct the drift. It's the same as if you are flying a real plane and experience a wind shear of gradually increasing speed. If you didn't stall and crash, you'd eventually return to the air speed (speed relative to still or moving air) that you had before.

absolutely everyone can perform a distant administration boat its elementary. distant administration airplanes take some ability. in case you do no longer understand what you're doing, you are able to actual crash a distant airplane. planes fee extra too. Planes can fee initiate at $3 hundred as much as three thousand you be sure. good success and characteristic exciting.

in space maybe, but an airfoil like a wing needs to have air rushing over and below it for lift - no air moving=no lift
