How does the speed on an airplane help it fly?

The flow of air over the top surface of the wings provides the lift that holds the plane aloft. The greater the velocity of the flow of air over the wings, the greater the lift. If the plane slows down sufficiently, and the flow of air is reduced enough, there will not be enough lift to hold the plane aloft, and it will begin to fall. When that occurs, it is called a "stall."
