It doesn't exactly help. What it does do is keep the atmosphere around the planet from dissipating, which is not only necessary for atmospheric flight, but also for breathing and stuff. Atmospheric craft can fly because their wings generate lift as a result of their motion through the air. Without air, no lift. Without gravity, no air.

What does the pull of gravity equal to of a plane?

If a plane is in level flight, gravity (weight) is equal to lift.


What helps a plane to land?

Gravity and the skill of the pilot.


What four forces act on a plane during flight?

The four forces of flight during flight are lift gravity thrust and drag


What part of a plane is referred to an airfoil?

The shape of an airplane's wing is called the airfoil; this helps the plane to fly easily while in flight.


Why is lift important in flight?

Because the plane has to overcome the force of gravity and it has wings to create lift to make the aircraft fly.


How do you control a plane?

you stear it with the wheel and use gravity and the weight of the plane to help keep it stable in the air . Uhhhh.....go to flight school and learn to be a pilot. They'll teach you how.


How does gravity affect an airplanes flight?

Gravity inhibits flight.


How do you balance an RC airplane?

You must find the center of gravity by balancing it. Add weight to the front of the plane. This keeps a flight stable.


How does gravity affect flight?

In a flight, gravity would hinder take off and aid landing. However, because gravity is a vertical force and the x and y components are independent of each other, gravity does not affect speed in the horizontal direction.


Which is the upward force acting on the wing of a plane in flight?

The upward force acting on the wing of a plane in flight is called lift. It is generated by the air flowing over and under the wing due to the shape of the wing and the angle of attack. Lift is essential for keeping the plane aloft and counteracting the force of gravity.


What are the four forces of flight and why do they affect planes?

The four forces of flight are lift, weight (gravity), thrust, and drag. These forces affect planes by enabling the plane to generate lift to counteract gravity (weight), provide thrust for forward motion, and counteract drag to maintain speed and altitude during flight.


What is the cause of flight on a airplane?

If the lift generated from the wings is greater than the gravity pulling the plane down, the plain gains altitude and flies
