If a conventional aircraft was to enter space, which it wouldn't be able to, a number of catastrophic failures would occur to the aircraft. Firstly, due to the lack of oxygen, the aircraft's engines would fail, stopping all electrical and hydraulic power. Also, occupants of the aircraft would receive fatal hypoxia due to lack of oxygen, plus the fuselage would rupture due to high pressure differential. Furthermore, the aircraft would have no form of control, and so would float uncontrollably either into deep space, if escape velocity is achieved, or will return to the earth's atmosphere where it would break up and heat, resulting in a cloud of plasma forming around the craft and catastrophic structural failure.

If a plane is flying and 2000 birds are flying inside the plane does that add weight to the plane?

The birds would add weight to the plane whether they were sitting or flying inside. The force from a bird's wings would push down on the air inside the plane, which pushes down on the floor of the plane.This is based on another riddle about a truck full of pigeons crossing a rickety bridge. The truck would weight the same whether the pigeons were sitting or flying about in their cages. However, if the back or side of the truck is open, a small amount of energy would escape the system and the birds' full weight would appear to be less.
