Can a plane stay still in the air?
yes it can
Why does a plane stay up in the air?
The top is rounded in a way and the bottom is flat. This makes lift. That is how a plane stays up in the air.
How does a plane stay up in the air?
The shape of the wing is such that when it moves forward the pressure on top is lower than on the bottom, thus air pressure pushes it upward ... as long as the plane moves fast enough.
How do planes stay in the sky?
because the airfoil shape makes tiny air molecules at the bottom slow down and the top speed up. The engine just pushes the plane.
Fly the plane or drive the plane?
Both - you fly it in the air, but you drive it on the ground.
Can a plane stay still in the air?
yes it can
Which plane is able to stay longer in the sky?
no NO PLANE CAN STAY IN AIR EXPECT HELICOPTER JUST BECAUSE OF HIS WINGS
How does a plane fly with no engine?
A plane with no engine is a glider. They use the air currents to stay aloft.
How does wind help a paper plane fly?
The wind pushes the plane helping it stay in the air.

How do you get a one ounce weight to stay in the air for 60 seconds?
Throw it off a plane.
How long was Orville and Wilbur's plane in the air?
The plane was able to stay in air for just a few minutes. Then it lost power and came down. This successful powered flight was done in 1903.
Lift must be than gravity in order for a plane to stay in the air?
...the same or greater than...
Does the size of the paper airplane effect how long it will stay in the air?
With more surface area on the wings of the paper airplane there will be more air providing lift for the plane. If the mass of the plane is increased less than the surface area of the plane is increased, then the ratio of the force of gravity to force of lift should decrease, theoretically, allowing the plane to stay in the air longer. There are other significant factors in how long the paper airplane will stay air born. The Launch speed is directly proportional to the amount of air moving over the wings which provides lift. However, the larger the plane and the lighter the material is the more likely the plane will deform at high launch speeds or from launching the plane by holding to far back on the plane during launch, which will make the plain more likely to drop from lack of lift if the plane deforms too much.
Why does increasing the wingspan increases the duration that a paper plane spends in the air?
The larger the wing-span.... the larger the surface area that the air flows over. The more surface area presented to the air-flow... the longer the plane can stay airborne.
What type of wing design makes a paper plane stay in the air longest?
The large wing usually works depending on what type of paper plane you want.
