It doesn't exactly help. What it does do is keep the atmosphere around the planet from dissipating, which is not only necessary for atmospheric flight, but also for breathing and stuff. Atmospheric craft can fly because their wings generate lift as a result of their motion through the air. Without air, no lift. Without gravity, no air.

What does the pull of gravity equal to of a plane?
If a plane is in level flight, gravity (weight) is equal to lift.
What helps a plane to land?
Gravity and the skill of the pilot.
What four forces act on a plane during flight?
The four forces of flight during flight are lift gravity thrust and drag
How does gravity affect flight?
In a flight, gravity would hinder take off and aid landing. However, because gravity is a vertical force and the x and y components are independent of each other, gravity does not affect speed in the horizontal direction.
What is the force the keeps the plane in the air?
The four forces of flight are : Lift, Thrust, Drag, and Gravity. The answer to your question is Lift.
What part of a plane is referred to an airfoil?
The shape of an airplane's wing is called the airfoil; this helps the plane to fly easily while in flight.
Why is lift important in flight?
Because the plane has to overcome the force of gravity and it has wings to create lift to make the aircraft fly.
How do you control a plane?
you stear it with the wheel and use gravity and the weight of the plane to help keep it stable in the air . Uhhhh.....go to flight school and learn to be a pilot. They'll teach you how.
How does gravity affect an airplanes flight?
Gravity inhibits flight.
How do you balance an RC airplane?
You must find the center of gravity by balancing it. Add weight to the front of the plane. This keeps a flight stable.
What is the cause of flight on a airplane?
If the lift generated from the wings is greater than the gravity pulling the plane down, the plain gains altitude and flies
How do lift thrust drag and gravity work together to achieve flight?
when flight moves the velocity of air above and below the plane is different ..this gives it an upward thrust (according to bernauli's theorem).
