if you flew a plane straight would it fly into space?
It depends on how you define "airplane". Since planes are defined by generating lift with the wings, then technically the answer is no. Airplanes need air flowing over their wings to generate lift, so they can not leave the atmosphere. However, not everything with wings is an airplane. The Space Shuttle had wings, and obviously it could fly into space. If the question is "if a flying object kept going in a straight line, would it go into space?" then the answer is yes. It's not the most efficient path to space, but if you shot a rocket in a straight line (assuming it wasn't a line going towards the ground) and it had enough fuel, then it would eventually reach space.
