thrust over comes drag, lift overcomes gravity. bernoulis principle; fast moving air has a lower air pressure than stagnant air, and the airfoils on a plane direct the air in such a way that the air on top of the wing is moving faster than that below it. this means that air pressure above the wing is low, which will pull the wing up and the air pressure below is higher, pushing the wing up. the thrust pushes the plane fast enough for this to happen.

Airplanes fly by the air going across the top of the wing. The shape of the wing determines the amount of lift it is capable of. The real question should be, How do helicopters fly? Theoretically, they shouldn't.

For an airplane to fly, it must always engage in a tug of war between the opposing forces of lift versus weight and thrust versus drag.

in the starting up all, the layout of the wing is the biggest issue. On my Pitts S-2C that's rounded in the front and is amazingly flat and slender in the back. human beings say that's formed like a triangle. they're section way correct. many diverse plane have this similar wing style, the in undemanding words distinction is the accurate and bottom of the wing/s. the accurate of the wing creates raise alongside with the bottom, on an aerobatic plane the accurate and bottom are exceedingly a lot a similar, they both create raise. once you fly inverted you should save the stick ahead to save the plane from descending. the different issue is that you may't basically leap into any plane and fly inverted. in order to fly inverted, your engine should be equipped with an inverted oil and gas equipment. once you fly immediately and aspect gravity is pushing the gas and oil to the engine. Inverted the inverted equipment makes use of a pump to bypass the gas and oil to the engine therefore the engine does no longer choke/stall.

As the plane moves forward, the shape of the wing creates lift. The air above the wing travels slower than the air beneath. Kind of like a vacuum pulling up.

the air plane able to fly because the wing of the air plane produce high left force enable the air plane to fly and resist the drag of the air

Because they travel at 400+ mph. Also they way the wings where designed to takeoff.

Bernoullis principle has a lot to do with flight along with thrust and design

Faith... if people didn't BELIEVE in airplanes, they would fall from the sky

it's either lift or the fat a55 pilot sittin up front
