Big aircraft stay in the air primarily through the principles of aerodynamics. As the aircraft moves forward, its wings generate lift due to the difference in air pressure above and below them, created by their shape and angle of attack. Engines provide the necessary thrust to overcome drag and keep the aircraft moving forward. Additionally, the overall design and weight distribution of the aircraft play crucial roles in maintaining stable flight.
What else can I help you with?
How do aircraft propellers keep the aircraft airborne?
For an aircraft to stay aloft, the an air current has to move over the wings in a specific way. The propellers generate the air current and direct it in the proper way to keep the aircraft airborne.
How long can a commercial aircraft stay in the air at one time?
Depends on the amount of gas.
What does "in air recovery" mean and how does it impact the overall performance of the aircraft?
"In air recovery" refers to the ability of an aircraft to refuel or rearm while in flight. This capability allows the aircraft to stay in the air for longer periods of time, increasing its operational range and effectiveness. Overall, in air recovery enhances the aircraft's performance by improving its endurance and mission capabilities.
What is the air force 1?

What is Air Force 1?

What makes an aircraft to stay in the air when all engines fails?
Lift on an airplanes wing is what makes it stay in the air. Of course, lift diminishes the slower you go so eventually the plane will lose lift and begin to fall.
What kind of flights can stay in air?
This question is in the wrong area. But usually commercial jets,private planes, all types of aircraft.
Is it possible to stop an aircraft in the air?
Stopping an aircraft in the air is not something we can normally do. An aircraft must move in air to create lift across its wings to stay aloft. There are some exceptions to the rule, like rotocraft (often called helicopters) and a few other aircraft. But it is the effect of the wing moving through the air that keeps "regular" aircraft flying.
Why cannot aircraft fly in space?
An aircraft is designed to fly in 'air' there is no 'air' in space.
Are Air Force aircraft military aircraft?
Not all aircraft in the Air Force are owned by the Air force or military. A lot of them are leased from companies like Boeing or Lockheed.
What is an air-to-air missile?
In air Combat, when an aircraft fires a missile at another aircraft, it is known as an Air to Air missile. The Sparrows and Sidewinders were air to air missiles
Why can't an aircraft fly into the air?
A properly designed aircraft most certainly can fly into the air.
