It is the combined forces of lift, thrust and weight that keeps an airplane in the air. Lift happens to be the largest force in this equation, and is dependent on the speed of the wing (or how fast an airplane is going), vertical velocity of air and air density.
Well the elevator the rudder will help and something else I forgot what it was but don't judge me for that.?!!!!!!!!!!?. And that's how you be a bow done . Like a boss! Boss!!!
