Aircraft run, or more correctly, fly, by first having a light structure involving wings that will give it 'lift'. Most aircraft have engines to propel them. They may be piston engines, very similar to auto engines,but with a propellor instead of wheels. They may also have jet engines. - When the aircraft is propelled forward fast enough, the wing will generate lift and it will rise off the ground. Once in the air, the pilot controls the aircraft by movable devices on the wings and tail that let him turn it and make it go up or down.
