Airplanes exploit a loophole in the physics of air pressure. It's a mundane sort of thing, compared to being IN a plane, but essentially, air gets bottlenecked trying to go around an airfoil (such as the wing of a plane) and more ends up being pushed up, into the wing from below, rather than flowing over it smoothly. Helicopters use their rotors to pull air down in a column, like a ceiling fan. They almost ride the column of air like a man climbing a rope. Hot-air-balloons heat air in a sealed environment and rise because hot air is less dense than cold air.

How does a powerful engine affect the performance of a car?
It makes it fly
Does heat make things fly?
no it weighs things down . Hot air tends to lift things, as in a hot air balloon.
What concaave lenses and convex lenses make things look smaller?
Convex lens makes things look bigger and concave lens makes things look smaller!
What makes a bottle rocket fly?
Pressure builds up, and when it is released it forces the rocket up.
What force makes things fall downwards?
The force that makes things pull downwards is called "gravity". That's why we don't float when we jump.
What makes air planes fly?
Lift and speed are the two major things that makes an airplane fly. When enough speed is created to push enough air under the wings, the craft will lift off the ground.
What makes paper airplanes fly?
Lift makes paper airplanes fly, just as it does real planes.magic
What makes the adult fly die?
A fly-swatter works for me
How do maple seeds fly?
maple seeds work by air presure. Air pressure makes things fly such as maple seeds.
What has wings can fly?
Most things with wings can fly.
What makes a fly an invertebrate?
A fly is considered an invertebrate because it does not have a backbone.
What makes cream fly?
clouds
What makes jet fly?
its engines
What makes a penguin unique?

What makes a mosquito fly?
there wings
What makes your leg fly when you walk?
The thing that makes you leg fly is Joseph William Jeremier Cuthbert Humping it Hope That Helps :)
What makes a biplane fly?
The same thing that makes a monoplane fly (i.e. lift), except a biplane has twice as many wings to do it with.
