What makes airplanes fly are the 4 forces of flight, thrust, provided with the aid of the engines, propelling the airplane forward, carry pulling the airplane up, drag pulling the airplane back, and weight, or gravity pulling the airplane down. How lots an airplane weighs, relies upon on the airplane. Small 4 seater guidance planes, at the same time with Cessna 172s weigh approximately 2000 pounds. commercial planes, at the same time with 747s, weigh approximately 430 a lot.

the wings and the movement of the wings through the air. the wings shape "an airfoil" when moved through the air this creates a split in pressures on it ...hi pressure is on the bottom portion of the wing and lo pressure is on the top. the higher pressure attempts to rejoin the lower pressure pushing on the wings lower surface causing it to lift . the engines provide the forward movement .

speed and lift
the wings are designed so that the air moves at a different rate on the top of the wing compared to the bottom of the wing...this creates lift...
but it also takes a high rate of speed to make that air differential work...thus the big jet engines on a plane

the wings catch the wind and the wind carries the airplane up and stuff like that

More air pressure under the wing than over it.
