What gives an airplane it's lift?
The wings are designed in such a way that when the airplane moves, air passes faster on the upper surface, than on the lower surface. According to Bernoulli, this results in a reduced pressure on the upper surface.

Why was the airplane named the airplane?
An airplane was named an airplane because it fly's in the AIR and the came up with the word plane. IDK im going out on a limb here but i believe plane comes from geometry, where you have the plane of a surface. the surface in reference is the ground. a flat surface in which it takes off from.
Where will the shadow of the airplane appear?
The shadow of an airplane will appear on the line between the sun and the airplane and on the nearest visible surface directly opposite the sun.
What is the control surface on an airplane that controls yaw?
The rudder
What will happen to the airplane if the lift is zero?
The airplane will accelerate towards the surface of the earth which, if not accounted for, will result in a structural failure of the aircraft.
Why is the surface on the top of an airplane wing curved?
The top surface of an airplane wing is curved to create lift. Because of the curve, air has to travel farther across the top of the wing than across the bottom; this creates a low-pressure condition that pulls the airplane into it.
What does roll on an airplane mean?
To move along a surface by revolving or turning.
Air rushing against an airplane is an example of what kind of friction?
Airplane wings experience both surface and pressure drag.rolling, or sliding
What is surface mail?
Surface mail is mail that is sent via a ship (surface of the earth) rather than buy Airplane (air above the earth!)
How long would it take an airplane to get to the moon?
It would take an infinite amount of time because the airplane could not get to the moon, at all. An airplane can only get to a small distance above the earth's surface.
How does a fin compare to an airplane wing?
The fin and rudder help to keep the airplane flying straight and to steer properly. It is an airflow surface similar to the wing.
