The lift of the paper airplane is created by the wings and the thirst that you provide with your arm. Gravity is the force that brings the plane down and keeps it moving once the energy you provided with your arm has dissipated. The downward motion of the airplane caused by gravity keeps it moving forward which allows the wings to continue to provide lift.

How do paper airplanes fly for kids?

Paper airplanes fly by using the principles of aerodynamics, just like real airplanes. When you throw a paper airplane, its wings create lift, which helps it rise into the air. The shape of the wings and the angle at which you throw it determine how far and smoothly it glides. The forces of lift, gravity, thrust, and drag work together to keep the airplane flying!


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 do paper airplanes fly?

Paper airplanes fly due to the principles of aerodynamics. When a paper airplane is thrown, the shape of its wings and the angle at which it is thrown create lift, which allows the airplane to stay in the air and glide. The force of gravity pulling the airplane down is counteracted by the lift generated by the wings, allowing the airplane to fly.
