Usually not, but it would depend on the airplane, the pilot, and what you mean by "fly".

How airplane take a turn in air?
Flaps increase air resistance on one wing, causing the plane to turn that direction. Alternately, one might increase thrust in an engine on a wing, causing the plane to turn the opposite direction. Some jet aircraft have attitude jets on the wing tips which can be rotated.
What if an airplane has one wing longer than the other?
If one of the wings are longer , then the longer of the two wings will produce more lift due the increase in surface area .
What is lift on a airplane?
Lift is what " Lifts" an airplane off of the ground. Most commonly an airfoil wing is used to achieve lift. An airfoil is when the top of the wing is curved and the bottom is flat. This makes the pressure go fast over the top and slow underneath. This means more pressure under it at one time so that makes it go up! I hope that helped you!
How does a propeller generate thrust?
Technically it doesn't produce thrust, it produces lift the same as a wing - each blade of the propeller is a wing just like a helicopter blade so the plane is flying or lifting in a forward direction - the backwash of a prop is produced by the air being redirected by the airfoil of the prop. Lift (or forward motion) is created by making the air pressure lower on the front of the propeller blade than the back so the aircraft is actually being pulled / pushed forward by air pressure rather than being pushed by thrust - thrust is created by the forceful ejection of fuel such as from a jet or rocket engine Not understanding why props work is why early ship propellers were so inefficient - before the principal of lift was discovered it used to be thought they worked by creating thrust, and so were designed by trial and error to create as much backwash as possible. But the backwash has little to do with how a prop works. It's one of the problems the Wright brothers had to solve with their first airplane - all props of the time were poorly designed - the brothers correctly realized the prop was a wing and designed their own props as such.
What is the lift of an airplane?
Lift is the force that is created by the air-flow over the wings and body of an airplane. It is one of the 3 aerodynamic forces acting on an airplane in flight: Lift, Drag & Thrust.AddendumI was taught that there were four forces acting on an aircraft. Lift, drag, thrust and weight. Lift and weight are up and down forces, while thrust and drag are fore and aft forces. Lift forces must be equal to or greater than weight forces for the aircraft to fly. As the first answer points out, lift is generated through the application of Bernoulli's principle.i dont noBy making a LOT of assumptions I can simplify it to: the air passing over the top of the airfoil shape of the wing pushes a lot less than the air passing under the wing, which results in a net upward (one of those assumptions) force. By controlling many things like; the speed of the air passing the wing (or from the other perspective, our speed through the air), angle of attack of the wing, turbulence and many others we can control how much net upward force we want resulting in lifting the plane off the ground and direction.
Can an airplane fly with one wing?
No.
What airplane has four propeller driven engines on the front of each wing?
The most well known airplane with four propeller driven engines on each wing was the "Spruce Goose". It was designed by Howard Hughes and flew only one time for a short distance.
What does it take to fly an airplane?
Because if you only have one wing it's not gona be balanced!
Which airplane flies on one main wing?
Planes like B-2 Bomber And F-117 Nighthawk are these king of planes. They fly one main wing. They are called Omniwings.
What is an airplane with one wing?
Monoplane
What airplane has three propeller engines one on the tail?
None in production.
An airplane with one main wing?
A Monoplane is a airplane with one main wing. This has been the dominate design for planes since the 1930's.
Why or how does the channel wing have or produce lift?
The Channel Wing is a wing that "wraps around" underneath the engine of a propeller driven aircraft. The propeller is in front of the section of the wing that curves around the engine, and so is in the slipstream of the propeller. As engine power increases so does airflow over the curved section of wing, causing more lift than a straight wing would develop. Unfortunately, the trade-off (and there always is one) is that at cruising speeds the Channel Wing is less efficient than a normal wing.
Where do you purchase a toy airplane with a operational propeller?
If one is interested in purchasing a toy airplane with an operational propeller they may want to check Amazon or eBay to make this purchase. Each of these sites have this type of item for sale to the consumer.
Can a plane fly with one wing?
>No it cannot fly with one wing. UNLESS the aircraft's body actually produces sufficient lift, such as a "flying wing" aircraft
What do you call a airplane with one wing?
That is a monoplane. The one in the picture above is a biplane.
What air craft is a helicopter that can turn into a propeller airplane after takeoff?
A VTOL (Vertical Take Off and Landing) aircraft is one that can takeoff and land like a helicopter, but fly like a plane. A good example is the V-22 Osprey.
