In order to fly, airplanes use aerofoil-shaped wings. An aerofoil is a shape that forms higher pressure beneath than above, pushing the plane up. The engine helps to accelerate the aircraft to a high enough speed to overcome gravity.

Can an airplane go to space?

No. Airplanes need air to fly. The wing shape when passing through the air, creates more pressure on the bottom of the wing than on the top creating lift. In space there is no air and so airplanes will not work.


Can airplanes or satellites fly in the thermosphere?

Yes, airplanes cannot fly in the thermosphere due to the extremely low air density at that altitude. Satellites do not fly in the traditional sense but orbit within the thermosphere, taking advantage of the lack of air resistance.

What must airplanes and rockets do to fly through the air?

They must have sufficient thrust from their engines and lift from their wings to overcome their weight and the aerodynamic drag forces. Most rockets do not have sufficient wings to lift them but their engines provide a thrust force that is greater than their weight and it keeps pushing them vertically in the air.
