If you ever look at a wing on an aircraft from the side you will find it has a shape that closely resembles a tear drop with a flat bottom, when on the runway the pilot powers the engine up to around 90%, then the aircraft started accelerating down the runway. As the plane is moving forward air is flowing over the wing. In simple words the air flows smoothly across the bottom creating a region of higher pressure than the top of the wing which has lower pressure because of the shape of the wing that makes a small hump across the top of the wing. Since high pressure wants to go up it pushes the wing upward, and as the plane gets faster and faster more air is creating more lift on the wings, after there is enough lift the air lifts the wings up and takes the fuselage with it.

What is the function of aircraft propeller?
To "propel" the aircraft through the air.
What is the function of a Aircraft throttle?
This controls the engine speed
What is the function of the elevator in a plane?
Elevators are flight control surfaces, usually at the rear of an aircraft, which control the aircraft's pitch
Which UTC familiy denotes the aircraft maintenance function?
HFH
What is the function of an air vane?
An air vane is a part of an airspeed indicator in an aircraft. It senses the dynamic pressure of the air moving past the aircraft, which is used to determine the aircraft's airspeed.
What is the function of an aircraft maintenance engineer?
The function of an aircraft maintenance engineer is to keep the plane in top shape. He performs regular checks and other tests. In general words he helps maintain the plane in flying shape.
What is the function of an aircraft maintenance technician?
The job of the AMT is to perform maintenance tasks on the aircraft. Such tasks include inspections, component replacements, or troubleshooting.
What is aircraft propeller and what function does it do to the aircraft?
An aircraft propeller is what gives the aircraft power to move it forward (or backward, depending on it's pitch). This enables the aircraft to acquire lift and gain altitude. Propellers are found on some fixed-wing aircraft and autogyros. On helicopters, the blades that lift it and stabilize it are called rotors.
What is function propeller reduction gear box of the aircraft?
It's function is to lower the propellers speed and make it more controllable.
What is the function of airplane nose?
The function of the nose is to give a certain amount of streamlining, so the aircraft has less wind resistance
What is the function of the thrust reversers?
The function of the thrust reversers block thrust going reward and directs it forward to slow down the aircraft while landing.
The differences between an aircraft and a spacecraft?
Spacecraft lack wings & their engines don't require air to function.
