Planes are pulled down by gravity, just like everything else. But at the same time, they're wings are being pushed up by air pressure, so the forces balance out and they stay up in the air.

Are there anti gravity rooms?
There are anti gravity planes and there (of course) is outerspace
What are two forces that planes need to overcome in order to fly?
Gravity and aerodynamic resistance.
What are the four forces that act on planes?
Lift (up)Thrust (forward)Gravity (down)Drag (backward)
What keeps planes in the air if gravity pulls us down?
A plane is designed so that when it moves forward the air moving across its wings creates an upward force called lift, which counteracts the force of gravity.
If gravity pulls things down how come plans fly and not get puuled down?
Planes are able to fly against gravity by conquering it with another force. This force happens to be the lift created by the wings of the aircraft wihch allow it to fly.

Why doesn't the force of gravity work on planes?
It does. Gravity works on all matter
How can planes be adapted to deal with zero gravity?
You cant do that!
The force of gravity helps planes to fly?
if theres no gravity then anyone could fly, so
How does gravity help planes fly?
Then they don't go into space
Is it true force of gravity helps planes fly?
yes it is true
Why did Galileo used inclined planes investigate free fall?
He decreased the acceleration of gravity using inclined planes so it was of a value that was easily measured.
What are two forces that planes need to overcome in order to fly?
Gravity and aerodynamic resistance.
Do planes fly uphill from the poles to the equator?
No. Planes fly horizontally, but the concept of horizontal depends on the direction of gravity. Gravity pulls towards the center of the Earth, so "down" at the poles is the same as "down" at the equator, i.e. towards the center of the Earth.
Did Galileo elimate the acceleration of a free fall using inclined planes?
No, he merely decreased the acceleration of gravity using inclined planes so it was of a value that was easily measured.
Why do airplanes fall?
Because a plane is heavy enough to crush you, gravity dose'nt just forget about planes.
What are the four forces that act on planes?
Lift (up)Thrust (forward)Gravity (down)Drag (backward)
