If you look at the typical airplane wing, you will notice that the bottom is relatively flat as opposed to the top of the wing that is curved. As the wing goes through the air, the air on top of the wing must travel faster relative to the air on the bottom of the wing. This create a low pressure vacuum on top of the wing. That vacuum creates lift, and enables the plane to sustain flight. This behavior is the Bernoulli principle. As the wing angle is increased, relative to the air it's going through (called Angle of Attack), it will increase lift, at least to a point. When a wing angle of attack becomes to high, the air above the wing becomes too turbulent and the wing will then "stall" (stops producing lift).

How does wind help a paper plane fly?
The wind pushes the plane helping it stay in the air.
Is it easier to fly a plane in the cold or in the hot?
The warmer the air temperature the easier to lift and fly
How aircraft fly?
Aircraft fly based on the principal of lift. Lift is the force that pushes a plane up. A wing is curved, which means the air flowing over the top of the wing is moving slower than the air moving under the wing. This faster moving air pushes up on the wing and the plane, making it fly.

Can a wing suit fly as long and as far as a plane?
that is tecnicly impossible you would have to be in the exosphere without the moons gravitational pull and fly at a 25degree angle to fly as far as a plane
Fly the plane or drive the plane?
Both - you fly it in the air, but you drive it on the ground.

How long would it take to get to Jupiter by plane?
A plane could not fly to Jupiter because planes need air to fly in and there is no air in the space between ?Earth and Jupiter.

How does a plane fly with no engine?
A plane with no engine is a glider. They use the air currents to stay aloft.
