Best Answer

Airplanes in the 1900s worked the same way they do today. An engine produced power to move the aircraft forwards, allowing air to move across the lifting surfaces (wings). Because of the shape of the wings, a difference in pressure was created, with lower pressure on top of the wing and higher pressure below the wing. This is how lift was and is generated, allowing the plane to climb into the air.
