In flight the engine thrust must overcome the air resistance, or drag. Drag depends on frontal area (for example, large, airliner; small, fighter plane) and shape (drag coefficient); in level flight, drag equals thrust. The drag is reduced by streamlining the plane, resulting in higher speed and reduced fuel consumption for a given power. Less fuel need be carried for a given distance of travel, so a larger payload (cargo or passengers) can be carried.

How does a wing help an airplane fly?
The wind pushes the airplane helping it to stay in the air and fly.
How does air resistance help an airplane fly?
Air resistance actually holds an airplane back. It must overcome that resistance to fly.
How does a hornets wings help it fly?

What does a fuselage do to help an airplane fly?
in a conventional airplane it connects the wing to the control surfaces in the tail.
How did the wright brother build the airplane?
The Wright Brothers were inspired by how birds fly, they studied them and they observed them. They started to discover aerodynamics and how the birds are able to fly, so they made an airplane that was kind of like a bird.
How is air related to flight?
You can't fly in a vacuum! Air pressure is what keeps an airplane or a bird in flight.
How does a bird's nose help it fly?
it doesnt
What do the wings of an airplane and the rotors of a helicopter have in common?
READ THIS - GOOD INFORMATION The wings of an airplane and the rotors of a helicopter both help the object fly. Without those the object could not fly because the wings of an airplane have wind going past it which keeps the airplane in the air. The rotors of a helicopter spin in the wind and help the helicopter fly.
Why are bird bones very light and hollow?
Understand that a streamlined body shape achieves a greater speed. A streamlined body shape is one that is narrow at both ends, and broad in the middle. This shape enables the animals to fly faster. Streamlined body shape Just like there is water resistance, there is a force called air resistance that opposes motion in air. When a bird is flying, its streamlined body shape helps to reduce air resistance
