It's all in the physics. A plane has plenty of surface area thanks to its wings, and this creates lift, an upward force that pushes the plane into the air, when pushing against air with the wings at the right angle. Thrust from the jets helps the plane stay in motion in the air. If these two forces are greater than drag (against thrust) or weight (against lift), the plane will remain airborne.
