In very simple terms, the propellers push air towards the back and as a result of Newton's third law, the action of [parts of] the plane pushing the air back, the plane is pushed forward.
The cross section of the wing is such that the length along the front-to-back distance along its upper surface is greater than on its lower surface. This means that, as the plane moves forwards, the air going along the top of the wings must travel faster than the air flow below. The faster air exerts lower pressure and it is this that generates the lift.

Do airplanes with bigger wings fly farther than airplanes with smaller wings?
no
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 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.
Why do airplanes have wings?
because airplanes have wings
Why does Bernoulli's principle allow objects to fly?
people like to fly airplanes
What parts of a plane help it fly?
wings, propellers ,engine , gravity
Do airplanes with bigger wings fly farther than airplanes with smaller wings?
no
What is the only mammal without wings that can't fly but does fly?
Human beings. We have no wings, so we use airplanes to fly around.
What is the only mammal with no wings that can't fly but does fly?
Humans. We don't have wings, but we build airplanes and helicopters.
How do people fly like a bird with wings?
airplanes.
Why do airplanes fly but you can't?
They have wings to keep them up, and you don't
What is the only mammal without wings that can fly but does fly?
i dunno the one without wings but i know that the one with wings is a bat! A flying squirrel is a mammal without wings.
How does a propeller airplane fly?
The propellers act as a thrusting force which drives the airplane forward. In addition to the wings and vertical and horizontal tail wings, this helps an airplane to become airborne and fly.
How do non electric airplanes fly?
They stay up with their wings and the fuel you put in it.
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 are birds different from planes?
birds don't use gas they flap their wings. Plane uses gas but doesn't flap its wings. And they are alike because they both fly.birds flap its wings and doesn't use gas. airplanes do use gas but doesn't flap it wings. They both fly.One poops the other doesn'tBirds Are living and Airplanes are made by man machine. The structure of their wings are alike in someways and different in others. As well Birds can not hold Human Beings they can only hold their food and their birds/children!Airplanes have propellers to help them get off the ground, and birds use their muscles to help them get off the ground. An obvious one is that birds are much lighter and smaller than airplanes.Things In Common:They Both FlyHave wings/airfoilCarry lifeBoth have an I in their Name bIrds aIrplanesCreate Speed when in the airFly with Twist and turns
