Aircraft fly based on the principal of lift. Lift is the force that pushes a plane up. A wing is curved, which means the air flowing over the top of the wing is moving slower than the air moving under the wing. This faster moving air pushes up on the wing and the plane, making it fly.

Some aircraft can fly faster than the speed of sound what is such speed called?
They are called Supersonic aircraft. Some aircraft can only do that. Some planes have reached even Hypersonic speeds.
What are the four forces that affect an airplane's ability to fly?
It is thrust, lift, drag and weightthat affect an aircraft's ability to fly. It is thrust that moves the aircraft forward through the air. The thrust overcomes drag and provides (with the wings) lift to overcome weight.
Can a plane fly without wings?
While there have been some wingless "lifting body" experimental aircraft. All conventional airplanes get the the majority of their lift from their wings and cannot fly without them. No. By definition, A PLANE is a fixed-wing aircraft. The wings are absolutely necessary for lift.
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 is thrust so important in aviation?
In aviation, thrust is the force along the axis of the aircraft which moves it through the air. Together with drag, lift and weight, it is one of the four forces required to make an aircraft fly.
Why cannot aircraft fly in space?
An aircraft is designed to fly in 'air' there is no 'air' in space.
Why can't an aircraft fly into the air?
A properly designed aircraft most certainly can fly into the air.
What is the difference between an aircraft and a spacecraft?
Aircraft fly through air and spacecraft fly in space.
Who flies an aircraft?
An aircrew are the people who fly an aircraft
Does airports fly?

Do you fly aircraft in cod4?
No!
Will you need a license for a aircraft?
Yes, you need a licence to fly an aircraft.
Can you fly in the sky?
If you are in an aircraft, yes.
What level do most airplanes fly?
Commercial, jet engined aircraft, such as the 747, fly at approximately 40 000 feet. Propeller aircraft fly at lower altitudes
Does airplane fly in the stratopause?
Yes, many aircraft can fly in the stratosphere.
Why do people fly with aircrafts?
Because without an aircraft, we can't fly.
