there are several ways a plane can take off. 1 would be the normal way a plane has an engine that is put at full power at the end of a runway and the plane speeds up and when there is enough wind flowing through the wing and enough power from the engine the pilot can pull back on the flight stick and he or she is airborne.

What angle does a plane lift off?

What causes airplanes to take off?

Lift is what ultimatly causes the plane to take off. When a plane get up to take off speed, that means the wings are generating enough lift to lift the plane up. The pilot will change the planes angle of attack with the elevators (located on the horizontal stabilizers) to the wind which forces engine thrust to push the plane into the air.


What force is used to fly a plane?

Thrust and lift are required to make a plane fly. A plane can use just lift if it is in the air already. The engines create thrust (if the aircraft has engines), and the wings create lift. Helicopters make lift by pushing air down, though.


Why is there no lift on a aircraft on the ground?

There IS lift because there is wind. It just doesn't make the plane take off (although it might - search youtube to see light and not that light aircraft examples!)


How does the 747 lift off the ground?

The engines provide thrust, making the plane move forward. As the plane picks up speed the air flows over the wing, creating lift. Once the lift reaches a certain amount, the plane lifts off the ground.


Does a plane takeoff into the wind?

it helps generally to take off into the wind because it gives the plane more lift


What do you feel on an airplane takeoff?

When an airplane takes off, passengers will feel the acceleration and lift off of the plane as it leaves the ground. Sometimes this can make passengers nervous, or as it receives elevation, it can make peoples ears pop.


What happens if the lift of a plane becomes greater than the weight?

It takes off


An airplane that can start with a vertical lift off then switch to level is called?

A plane that can start with a vertical lift off then switch to level is called a tilt rotor aircraft.


What keeps a plane in the air?

Lift keeps an airplane in the air because drag is a counteract. Drag is what makes the plane crash. To have to much drag you need something like a flap pointing toward the front of the plane. If you take off the flap, you have more lift. Plane wings are tilted upward so that whenyou take off, the air is pushing the most downward part up, therefore causing lift, keeping the plane in the air.


What is the part that does the most in aiding a commercial jet liner lift off the ground?

The pilot. All the mechanical parts on the plane are important, but if a pilot doesn't start the engines, taxi to the runway and open the throttles, the plane won't lift off the ground.


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.
