Best Answer

Air will help it fly, without air it cannot fly

The wing must have air to fly. As the wing passes through the air at a sufficiently high speed, a pressure difference is created between the top of the wing and the bottom. Pressure on the top is lower than the pressure on the bottom. The airplane is actually sucked into the sky. The control surfaces also require the passage of sufficient amounts of air in order to be effective. Without air, the plane's engine wouldn't work. But even if it (engine) did work, the plane still wouldn't fly. The engine would have no air to interact with, to develop thrust, and the wing would have no air to create the required pressure difference.

What was the challenge in building an airplane?

One major challenge in building an airplane is keeping it up in the air. Since airplanes are heavy, they need to work to be able to stay above the very light air. Other challenges include carrying enough fuel to get them safely to their destination and pressurizing the air to make it safe for humans.


Can a submarine torpedo an airplane?

Only if the airplane is in the water. Torpedos are water weapons and seldom, if ever, get airborne. Their propellers don't work in the air.


Why airplane float in air?

Because the speed of the air over the wing generates 'lift' to make it fly.
