The weight of an aircraft counteracts the lift produced by an aircraft. The heavier an aircraft weighs the greater the lift needed to get off the ground.

How does an airplane fly with weight?
An airplane produces enogh lift to fly with weight. Cargo planes are designed to do that.
Dose lift have to be greater than weight for a plane to land?
If lift is greater than weight, the airplane proceeds up, away from the ground. If lift is less than weight, the airplane proceeds down, toward the ground.
What are the four forces that act on an airplane in flight?
Lift, weight, thrust and drag.
What is the relationship of lift drag thrust and weight when the airplane is in straight-and-level flight?
Lift equals weight and thrust equals drag.
What happens if the Weight greater than lift on a plane?
(Airplane is descending)
How do flaps increase lift on an airplane?
Basically they 'curve' the wing, forcing the airflow to lift more weight.
What are the forces on an airplane?
There are four forces that act on an airplane that keeps it at a level altitude. Thrust, drag, weight, and lift determine whether a pilot flies at a level altitude.
What are the four force acting on a airplane?
lift, thrust, drag and weight(gravity)
Is weight one of the four forces to make an airplane fly?
Yes, weight opposes lift and is one of the four forces
What made the Wright Brothers' plane fly?
Their Airplane flew for the same reason that a modern airplane flies, the airfoil design of the wing creates upward LIFT. That Lift is greater the weight of the airplane and the passenger(s), so up it goes.
Why does an airplane need more lift then weight?
Obviously so it can overcome gravity and take off.
How an airplane flys?
lift and thrust overcome weight and drag
