What else can I help you with?
Do thick wings give better lift?
Yes, but they lower speeds and add drag. On the plus side, their added strength permits fuel tanks and weapons.
What are the wings on an airplane?
The wings are the parts that stick out sideways from the body or fuselage. The wings give lift and usually hold engines.
How high can an airplane go?
as high as the lift from the wings is greater than the gravity pulling it down
How do airplanes fly with so much weight?
The lift produced by the wings is greater than the weight.
What are the uses of wings?
Wing will give stability to the aircraft . This gives a lift to the airplane
Why does the Concorde have small wings?
They give extra lift on take-off and landing.
Which has a greater lift jets gliders or hand glider?
Even though your question is rather irrelevant, a jet of course has greater lift. Lift needs to be equal to weight, the weight of the jet is the larger, so the jet must have greater lift. This by no means says that the jet is more efficient or has better wings, it's just larger.
What does an airplane always have?
Aeroplanes always have alierons. They are attached to the wings to give the plane lift.
How does the speed on an airplane help it fly?
The flow of air over the top surface of the wings provides the lift that holds the plane aloft. The greater the velocity of the flow of air over the wings, the greater the lift. If the plane slows down sufficiently, and the flow of air is reduced enough, there will not be enough lift to hold the plane aloft, and it will begin to fall. When that occurs, it is called a "stall."
Lift must be than gravity in order for a plane to stay in the air?
Lift generated by the wings of a plane counteracts the force of gravity pulling it down, allowing the plane to stay in the air. For a plane to achieve lift greater than gravity, it must generate enough thrust through its engines to maintain forward motion and generate sufficient lift from its wings to overcome the force of gravity.
What makes airplane fly?
Lift! The wings on a plane create an upward lift.
What is lift augmentation?
A device to aid lift, such as Slats and Flaps on the wings.
