By making a LOT of assumptions I can simplify it to: the air passing over the top of the airfoil shape of the wing pushes a lot less than the air passing under the wing, which results in a net upward (one of those assumptions) force. By controlling many things like; the speed of the air passing the wing (or from the other perspective, our speed through the air), angle of attack of the wing, turbulence and many others we can control how much net upward force we want resulting in lifting the plane off the ground and direction.

When you are in an aeroplane does lift act in the opposite direction to friction?
Lift does not act opposite to friction. Lift opposes weight and friction(air resistance) opposes thrust from the engine. This is all equally true whether or not you happen to be aboard the aircraft.
How does weight affect lift?
They are independent and opposing forces. Lift must exceed weight in order to fly.
How does the position of a fulcrum affect the load?
does the positoin ef the fulcrum affect the force necessary to lift a weihgt
How does the wing shape on an airplane affect its ability to hold weight?
It can affect the lift that carries the plane through the air.
How does the lift thrust drag and gravity affect a helicopter?
Lift, thrust, drag, and gravity affects all flying objects and wildlife. The blades of the helicopter provide lift, drag and thrust.
Why aeroplane designed with wings?
An airplane has wings to generate the lift required for flight.
Why does an aeroplane take a race on land before flying?
to obtain the needed lift.......
Is there upthrust on an aeroplane?
Upthrust,or lift, is created under the wing when the aircraft moves forward.
What function do the wing play when an aeroplane is landing?
The wings give the aircraft 'lift' especially when it is at a slower speed such as landing
What forces act on aeroplane when taking off?
The weight of the aeroplane and its cargo, friction where the plane's wheels meet the runway, the lift provided by the motion of the air around the aerofoil shape of the wings, aerodynamic drag,
When you are in an aeroplane does lift act in the opposite direction to friction?
Lift does not act opposite to friction. Lift opposes weight and friction(air resistance) opposes thrust from the engine. This is all equally true whether or not you happen to be aboard the aircraft.
How does the lift from an aeroplane's wing change as it passes through a cloud?
LIFT on a wing shaped body is partially dependent on the density of the Fluid that the wing is passing through. If the Cloud is DENSER than the Air surrounding it the Wing will experience more LIFT.
Are birds wings flat for increasing lift?
If they were flat they would generate no lift and birds could not fly. Aeroplane wings are very similar in shape to bird wings - they are nearly flat underneath and convex on top.
Is aeroplane an automobile?
NO, an aeroplane is not an automobile.
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.
Why aeroplane is NT falling to earth even though gravity is there?
as long as its moving at the right speed, air is flowing over the wings and lift force is created due to wing design, which balances gravity force. (google / aerofoil lift)
Where does aeroplane is kept?
If you mean what is an aeroplane kept in then it is kept in hanger but where does aeroplane is kept does not make sense
