How do airplanes take flight?
They increase speed until the wings gain 'lift' from the air flowing over them.
How do airplanes fly when they are heavier than air?
The airpresureunder the wings is greaterthan the pressure over the wings creating lift.
Can a airplane fly without wings?
No, airplanes need wings for lift. - Now having said that, aircraft can fly without wings, as they include helicopters, dirigibles and balloons which have alternate ways of gaining lift.
How do airplanes fly with so much weight?
The lift produced by the wings is greater than the weight.
Can airplane fly without an air?
No. Airplanes need the flow of air over the wings in order to produce lift.
What do flaps help an airplane do?
An airplanes having the flaps in wings as it helps the plane to give or to produce a additional lift.
How airplanes can fly in air in spite of being heavier than air?
The air pressure under the wings is greater that the pressure over the wings creating lift.
How are old airplanes similar to new airplanes?
Old Airplanes and new are similar because they work under the same principles. Creating enough lift to become airbourne. To do so a plane needs to be light enough with enough thrust and enough surface area of the wings to create the lift
Why do airplanes have 2 wings?
You have to balance out the lift, or else you'll have lift on just one side of the aircraft, and it'll be compelled to flip onto the side without a wing.
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.
Can airplanes lift off in the rain?
They could, if it wasn't in the severe category
How do airplanes takeoff?
Airplanes need to generate lift in order to take off and fly. The way they do this is to go fast enough on the ground so that the air passing over the wings generates lift in accordance with Bernoulli's principle. When sufficient speed is attained to generate the necessary lift, the plane will fly.
