Best Answer

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 aerodynamics effect paper planes?

Paper airplanes are effected by aerodynamics just as anything else in the air is. Drag is encountered, and air resistance is related to this.

Why are aerodynamics important?

because airplanes would not be able to fly it would be really hard to go through air
