Airplane wings are placed at the center of balance for the fuselage (or passenger compartment) and the tail flight controls are placed to help rotate the airplane around the center of balance. The wings are made so that air passes over the top of the wing more quickly than it passes over the bottom meaning you have less pressure on top of the wings and this creates lift. Movable flight controls then allow the pilot to control the air flow over these surfaces. This gives the pilot the ability to control the entire aircraft. Then the most important ingredient is POWER. With enough power anything will fly and if you can sustain that power you can keep it flying and control it. Pick up a rock and throw it and it is technically "flying". If you could keep that power on the rock and control it, you could fly it. That's the reason rockets or missles fly. Sustained power. good question... I hope this helps you understand flight.
