They way airplanes fly is actually very simple. The wing of an airplane is curved on the top and flat on the bottom. This means that the top side of the wing is longer than the bottom part. When air passes by the wing, some of the air goes on top and some on the bottom. Because the particles of air want to stay together by the law of attraction, the air that passes over the top of the wing moves faster than the air that flows under the wing. This causes a low pressure system to form above the wing and a high pressure system to form below the wing. The higher pressure beneath the wing forces the wing up allowing the air plane to fly. This is also called Bernoullis principle.
