An Airplanes wings work to achieve lift by using and airfoil shape. This means that the top of the wing is curved and the bottom is flat. The air flows faster over the top of the wing and slower on the bottom. This causes the higher pressure that is now on the bottom to lift up the airplane from the wings. This kind of lift cannot work without thrust to start lifting it up! I hope this helped!

How does aerodynamics work on airplanes?
The wings push air down, creating lift. Aerodynamic force causes drag and thrust to keep the airplane steady. They have to be made a certain way (aerodynamic) for this to work.
How do wings work?
Airflow under the wing is slower than the airflow on top thus creating lift.
Is work done if you lift a brick?
Yes, work is done if you lift a brick.
How aerodynamics of airplane work?
how do aeroplane works
Within the forces in flight identify the forces that work against each other?
The two basic forces that counteract each other when referring to Flight are: The WEIGHT of the object in flight and The LIFT FORCE on the bottom of the wings.
Where do birds get their lift from?
From their speed and wings combined. Overall they work like an airplane, except they get their speed from clapping their wings.

How dos an airplane work?
I'm assuming you want to know how it flies.The engine(s) get the airplane moving forward and get the air running over the wings. The wing of an airplane is shaped so that the air splits. The air over the top of the wing is going faster than the air below the wing. Following Bernoulli's Principle, the pressure of that air is lower. The higher pressure below the wing pushes the wing (and the airplane attached to the wing), upwards. That is a simple explanation. Find an airplane site to get a detailed explanation.the wings lift the plane and the speed helps it lift if it does not go fast enough it wont fly
How does a airplane work?
An airplane is a machine used to fly. An airplane uses it's engine to produce thrust to move the aircraft. When an airplane takes off the engine(s) push the aircraft faster and faster. At a certain speed there is enough air flowing over the wings at a high enough speed for the wings to produce lift. Lift pushes the aircraft into the air and keeps it there. When an airplane goes to slow or is pointed at too great and angle, it's stalls, and falls out of the sky. Airplanes are used to carry people and goods over great distances faster and cheaper than many other forms of transport.
How does airplane flaps work when airplane is climing?
The flaps create more lift when fully extended and the aircraft is climbing.
Would extra wings on an airplane work better?
no it would be harder then what it is now :) JWt
Do wooden airplane wings work?
yes they are better than all of the different kinds.
How do glider wings work?
The shape of the chord produces lift when moving forward, this lifts the glider.
How does a bird's wings work?
the shape of the wing is airfoil. basically this is what helps it go smoothly through air...http://amasci.com/wing/airfoil.html
Was the airplane invented during the 17th to 18th century?
technically no - there were successful attempts at gliding and using kites to lift a man into the air at least as early as the 17th century but no one that early understood how wings/lift worked and so couldn't design or build an airplane that flew consistantly or predictably - kites carrying people are not really a type of plane even though they are a flying wing as they become uncontrollable as soon as their line is cut lift was not understood until about the 1890s, mostly with the wind tunnel experiments of the wright brothers, which is a major reason they were successful as they were the first to fully understand why wings work
How do wings work?
Airflow under the wing is slower than the airflow on top thus creating lift.
How do aircraft wings work?
Aircraft wings work by cutting thought the wind which in part separates the wind into two part the upper and lower, thus producing lift. ( there is a more technical answer to your question this is just basically how they work).
