The answer to this one is no. Yes a plane does have to be traveling at a certain speed in order to lift into the air. But as long as the aircraft maintains that speed it can either climb or descend. The speed merely determines how fast it climbs.

How would you redesign your paper airplane to make it fly faster?
You can get a plane to fly faster (for a given force applied) by decreasing drag, e.g. reducing the width of the fuselage or wings (the latter also reduces lift). If you add weight to a paper plane, especially at the nose, you can get it to fly faster for a given acceleration (i.e. the throwing motion) -- the additional weight will increase the speed gained as gravity drags the plane down, because the air resistance is a function of the area, not the weight. A metal plane will fall faster (and with a higher terminal velocity) than a paper one if they have the same resistance area.
Plane to fly faster than speed of sound?
That is called "supersonic".
My bird can fly faster than any supersonic plan how can this be?
Take the bird onto a supersonic plane and, while the plane is in flight, have the bird fly around inside the plane.
Is a helicopter faster than an airplane?
No. A helicopter is not faster than an airplane. A helicopter could fly at about 400-650 kph. But a plane could fly much faster than that.
What was the name of the plane to fly faster than the speed of sound?
The first plane was the experimental Ball X-1.
What was the name of the plane that can fly faster than the speed of sound?
ultra sonic !!
What was the first plane to fly faster than the speed of sound was?
The X-15
Which is faster to go to panama city Florida driving or taking an airplane?
plane because it is higher and faster
Can a plane fly around the world in an hour?
In theory, any plane can fly around the world in an hour, regardless of size or speed. It depends on your definition of 'around the world'. No existing plane can do this at the equator. But any plane can fly along a line of latitude that has the same full length as the distance the plane can fly in one hour. The faster the plane, the farther from the poles its lines of latitude will be.
Which insect can fly faster than a jet plane?
No insect can fly faster than a jet plane. The fastest flying insects can travel at 60-70 mph, about the speed cars travel on a highway. By contrast a commercial jet usually flies at over 500 mph.
Does friction cause objects to move faster or fly higher?
false
Can commercial airlines fly faster?
yes an airliner can fly much!!! faster than it normally can for example the A380 cruises at 565mph its usual max sppeed is 650mph but it can actually go up to 875mph but the plane equipments will get stressed and the plane will loose control.
