How is lift generated on an aircraft?
Rate of air passing over the wings
How does a airoplane float in air?
With lift generated by wind speed over the wings.
What are the forces of flight?
The four forces that act on an airplane in Flight are Lift (upward generated by the wings), weight (Down generated by gravity, Thrust (forward generated by the engines), and drag (essentially backward generated by the resistance of the aircraft to the atmosphere).

How an airplane floats in the air?
The lift generated by speed of the wing supports an aircraft in the air.
Is the upward force of an airplane called thrust?
Not, it is called lift. And trust is the power generated by the engines.
How much lift does it take for an airplane to get off the ground?
In order to lift off the ground, the lift force (the upward force generated by the wings) has to be at least as great as the weight of the aircraft. Lift and weight are opposing forces and are equal in straight and level flight.
What is aerostatics?
Aerostat radar is a low-level surveillance system that uses aerostats (moored balloons) as radar platforms.
How are lifts and thrusts used on an airplane?
Lift and thrust is what enables an airplane to maintain flight. Lift is generated by the wings, and thrust is generated by the engine or propeller. Combined they enable the aircraft to fly. Air currents and up-drafts, on an aircraft that does not have an engine (like a glider), also help generate lift and thrust to keep such an aircraft in the air. However, gliders get into the air by being towed by an airplane, or by a sort of sling-shot.
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 does the angle of attack affect the amount of lift?
Inclination Effects on Lift. As a wing moves through the air, the wing is inclined to the flight direction at some angle. The angle between the chord line and the flight direction is called the angle of attack and has a large effect on the lift generated by a wing.
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.
