What will happen if you flip a coin in a high speed airplane and why?

Nothing unusual IF the airplane is flying level and at a constant speed. The coin will go up, flip, and come down as expected.
However, if the airplane is accelerating...in ANY direction, the path of the coin will appear to be altered once it is in the air. For instance if the plane dives as the coin is thrown, the coin will appear to accelerate in the Upward direction.

Why does a dime flip over when air is blown across the top of the dime?
according to bernoulli's principle, when air is blown with an increased velocity over the dime, the air pressure beneath the dime decreases significantly and causes lift. this is the same principle with an airplane's wings. the shape of the wing causes the air on top of the wing to increase, causes a decrease in pressure beneath the wing. this causes lift.

If you flip a coin just as the airplane takes off from thr runway the coin will land behind you yew or no?
Actually, you AND the coin are travelling at the same velocity as the plane. Therefore, when you flip it up it will come straight back to you and not into the guy behind you...as long as your throw is straight up in the air, of course. This is called relative velocity: the coin is traveling at a horizontal velocity of zero RELATIVE TO THE PLANE, but it is travelling at 400km/h (or whatever the plane is travelling at) RELATIVE TO THE GROUND.
