There are four forces act on an aircraft in flight: lift, weight, thrust, and drag. From Newton's first law of motion, if there is no net external force, the object will maintain constant velocity. i.e lift=wait , thrust=drag. This condition is called "cruise". In this situation, airplane can stay steady (constant velocity). But the weight of the aircraft is decrease a little due to fuel burned per time. If forces become unbalanced, aircraft will move by Newton's second law of motion.

What is the secret of how airplanes are able to stay up in the air?
Gravity.
What is an antonym for roamed?
Um... stabilize, stay, steady, and wait.
How does a boat stay at a steady pace?
a boat stays at a steady pace because there are two forces giving the same amount of force
How do non electric airplanes fly?
They stay up with their wings and the fuel you put in it.
What best explains how airplanes stay afloat?
Bernoulli's principe apex veteran
Why is there an absolute ceiling for airplanes?
Because the air gets thinner with more altitude, and at some point the thin air can no longer give enough lift for airplanes to stay aloft.
Why do airplanes fly about 12 km of the earth's surface?
12km and above is the stratosphere . Human life cannot exist with that air pressure.The airplanes stay just to the peak of the troposhere.
Why do airplanes fly straight?
Airplanes need to fly forward in order to stay in the air. They need air passing over the wings in order to stay in flight. Without air passing over the wing, bernoulli's principle can't take effect and the airplane would fall.
How do you do to stay steady while ice skating?
It is very easy .. You are suppose to bend your knees alittle (:
What do olympic gymnasts eat?
lots of fruit and veggies they cant get fat and need to stay at a steady wieght
Meaning of staid?
Sober; grave; steady; sedate; composed; regular; not wild, volatile, or fanciful., of Stay
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.
