Aircraft wings produce lift by a principle discovered by Bernoulli. The air above the wing is at a lower pressure that the air below essentially socking it up. But is also true that the air beneath the wing strikes it providing a action reaction.

Why do aeroplanes have wheels if they can fly?

Airplanes have wheels to help with takeoff and landing. The wheels provide support and stability during ground operations, such as taxiing on runways and moving on the ground. Additionally, wheels allow airplanes to be easily maneuvered on the ground and parked at the airport.


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.


Can airplanes lift off in the rain?

They could, if it wasn't in the severe category


What is the coldest temperature a fighter jet is allowed to operate or take-off in?

At higher elevation, and colder temperatures, airplanes require more runway to lift off the ground. It's the contrary for warm temperatures.


How does a rocket use lift and thrust?

Rockets use thrust generated by their engines to push them forward and overcome gravity. They do not rely on lift as traditional airplanes do, as they operate in the vacuum of space. The propulsion from the engines creates the necessary force to lift the rocket off the ground and into space.


What is the similarities for airplanes and rockets?

They both rise up off the ground


Can a tornado pick up an airplane?

It is highly unlikely for a tornado to pick up an airplane due to its heavy weight and design. Airplanes are built to withstand strong winds and turbulence, and they are not easily lifted off the ground by tornadoes.


How much lift does it take for an airplane to get off the ground?

In order to lift off the ground, the lift force (the upward force generated by the wings) has to be at least as great as the weight of the aircraft. Lift and weight are opposing forces and are equal in straight and level flight.


Take off without flaps?

Yes, it IS possible for most airplanes to take off without using flaps, but it is usually not done because airplane would need a longer runway or more speed before the wings could create enough lift to get off the ground.


Can you lift yourself off the ground with a fart?

No, it is physically impossible to lift yourself off the ground with a fart as the force generated is not strong enough to overcome Earth's gravity.


How does a blue jay get lift?

blue jays jump off the ground/tree in order for them to get lift


Are rotors used to help lift a helicopter off the ground?

The rotors are used for lift and thrust on a helicopter.
