As the airplane speeds up the air flowing around the control surfaces speeds up as well. When this happens the horizontal stabilizer is deflected into the wind causing the nose of the aircraft to rise. As the nose rises the angle of the wings also increases and create lift by 'air deflection' and 'bernoullis principle'. Many other factors are involved to create lift, these are just the main principles.

Why does an airplane need more lift then weight?

Obviously so it can overcome gravity and take off.


How MPH does an airplane go when it takes off?

No one airplane, no one answer. Depends on the weight of the airplane and the size of the wings. Light planes designed for short take offs may lift off at 30 mph. A Boeing 737 jet might lift at 150 mph.


What happens when an airplane takes off against the wind?

It then produces lift due to wing configuration and can take off


How does an airplane take off the ground?

he engine is accelerared and the airplane moves down the runway gaining sped. When speed is high enough, 'lift' is created around the wings and it lifts off the ground.


How much lift does it take for an airplane to get off the ground?

In order to lift off the ground, the lift force (the upward force generated by the wings) has to be at least as great as the weight of the aircraft. Lift and weight are opposing forces and are equal in straight and level flight.


Why are airplane flaps not used at cruising speeds?

Airplane flaps are used during takeoff and landing to increase lift and drag, which helps the plane to reduce speed for landing and take off. At cruising speeds, the airplane is already flying efficiently and has no need for the extra lift and drag provided by the flaps.


How does an airplane take off?

During takeoff, an airplane's engines produce thrust, pushing the aircraft forward. As the speed increases, air flows over the wings, creating lift. When there is enough lift to overcome the aircraft's weight, it becomes airborne. The pilot then guides the plane into the sky.


What is the weight of an airplane during take off?

The total of the plane, cargo and fuel.


Can airplane takes off on the moon?

No. They need air for lift.


Can you take cell phones on an airplane?

Yes you can take it on an airplane but you have to keep it switched off.You can use your phone only during take off and during landing. During the flight itself, you are not allowed to use your cell phone.Yes, but they usually ask you to turn them off during at least take off and landing (possibly the rest of the flight, I can't remember).


What is the definition for an airplane?

Airplane is a mechanical structure that has the ability to overcome the gravity and lift off, with the assist of an engine


What is the use of flaps in airplanes?

Flaps increase the aerodynamic lift of a wing by increasing it's surface area. This allows the airplane to generate a greater amount of lift at slower speeds. In other words, when the flaps are extended, the airplane doesn't have to go as fast in order to take off or land. The flaps are retracted once the airplane is off the ground and has increased its speed to a point where the extra lift from the flaps is no longer needed. Flaps also have the effect of increasing drag on the airplane wing which reduces the airplane's speed and efficiency, but this only affects the aircraft when operating at higher speeds.
