The engines provide forward thrust, allowing the wings to generate lift. It is the lift that allows the aircraft to take off.
Flying hours are the number of hours that an aircraft has flown (usually from engine start to engine stop). One flight cycle is one flight from take-off to landing.
Yes, using the correct software.
The company that makes it says you can.

The flight from Humberside Airport to Schipol (Amsterdam) is a very quick route, KLM use 3 different Aircraft depending on the number of passengers, weather conditions and Aircraft Servicability, it can take from 25 mins to 1 hour
Tailwinds and headwinds affect the speed and efficiency of an aircraft during flight. Tailwinds help the aircraft move faster and save fuel, while headwinds slow it down and increase fuel consumption. Pilots adjust their flight plans to take advantage of tailwinds and minimize the impact of headwinds.
No. There is no direct commercial flight from New Jersey to Long Beach airport. You will have to take a private aircraft.
The over-water part of such a flight cannot be made by helicopter due to the range limits (You would run out of fuel over the ocean). The only exception would be a very few military aircraft that can do an in-flight refuel.
The first powered flight of an aircraft took place on December 17, 1903, near Kitty Hawk, North Carolina, when the Wright brothers, Orville and Wilbur Wright, successfully flew their aircraft, the Wright Flyer.

The simple answer is to learn to fly, to learn airmanship skills. If you want to learn how to fly an aircraft then you will want to take some flight training courses.
An aircraft hijack is when a person, or group of people, forcibly take control of an aircraft while it is in flight. Hijacking can result in the aircraft being crashed into a building, such as in the September 11 attacks, the hijackers making demands using the passengers as hostages or the aircraft could be being used to travel to a certain place.
