to keep a plane stable in the air it has different control surfaces or panels to allow the pilot to adjust the position of the plane in the air. Some modern fighter jets such as the Eurofighter Typhoon are deliberately made to be unstable so the jet is more maneuverable or agile in the air. planes like this have powerful computers to adjust the flaps and control panels hundreds of times a second to keep the plane stable when it's flying normally.

Can an airplane stay in the sky?

I am going to assume that aeroplane=airplane when I answer this. An airplane stays in the air by generating lift on its wings. As long as an airplane can generate sufficent lift it can stay in the air. However once the lift being generated falls below what is required for the plane to stay up... uh oh.


How does a wing help an airplane fly?

The wind pushes the airplane helping it to stay in the air and fly.


How can airplane stay up on air?

yh if it has enough petrol


How long did the first airplane stay in the air for?

12 seconds


How is an airplane able to stay in the air even though the airplane is heavier than the air?

While the airplane moves, the air pushes up against the wings. This has to do with the special shape of the wing, and, to a great part, to Bernoulli's principle.


Does an aluminum airplane stay in the air the longest?

we are having a science fair at my school and I've been trying to figure out if an aluminum airplane stays in the air the longest.if so why?


What the diference between an glider and an airplane?

a glider does not have a motor to power it along whereas an airplane does tand that is why a glider does not stay in the air for very long


What keeps an airplane up in the sky?

Bernoulli's Principlethe statement that an increase in the speed of a fluid produces a decrease in pressure and a decrease in the speed produces an increase in pressureWind has nothing to do with how an airplane stays in the air. In actuality, an airplane flies better on calm days than on windy ones! It is the act of lift, weight, thrust and Bernoulli's principle (though this principle isn't all that true, since airplanes are able to fly upside down and a model airplane with non-airfoil shaped wings can stay in the air just fine) that determines how an airplane is able to stay in the air.an airplane stays up in the air by the pressure above and below the wings...There is actually more than one force that enables an airplane to stay in the air: that is lift, weight and thrust. Weight has to be less than the force of lift and thrust combined to both get the airplane into the air and keep it in the air.


Who invented the first flying airplane and how long did it stay in the air?

Orville wright and Wilbur Wrigt and stayed in the air for 12 seconds


How does the Clean Air Act help safeguard the environment?

this helps the environment because the amount of pollution is decreasing, allowing the environment to stay stable. Although damage has (cheesedoodles) already been done the clean air act helps it stay as stable as it can with these damages done


How is an aeroplane able to stay in the air if it is heavier than air?

Yes, as long as the surface area of the airplane was large enough to make the force of air resistance balance with the force of gravity or if the airplane is moving at a fast enough speed to make the air resistance balance with gravity.


What is the science helps the airplane stay in the air/sky?

try force and motion. its a 8th grade level standard
