How do planes resist friction?
Planes cannot totally resist friction or wind resistance. Aerodynamics helps to lessen friction or wind resistance. I agree. Air has a lower friction co-efficient than things such as wheels rolling on a highway. So, get an airplane up in the air and it requires less energy to move it. If you throw a Frisbee through the air, it goes much further than it you slide it across the street. More detail plz
