Why does an airplane that is designed to go fast have smaller wings?

Airplanes designed for speed have smaller wings to reduce drag and increase performance. Smaller wings create less lift, allowing the plane to move faster through the air with less resistance. Additionally, smaller wings help to decrease the overall weight of the aircraft, further enhancing its speed capabilities.


What do airplanes and rockets have in common?

Airplanes and rockets are both vehicles designed for travel through the air/space. They both use propulsion systems to generate thrust for movement and wings/fins for stabilization and control. Both airplanes and rockets rely on aerodynamics principles for lift and propulsion.

Why do paper airplanes fly?

Paper airplanes fly due to the principles of aerodynamics. When a paper airplane is thrown, the shape of its wings and the angle at which it is thrown create lift, which allows the airplane to stay in the air and glide. The force of gravity pulling the airplane down is counteracted by the lift generated by the wings, allowing the airplane to fly.


How do airplanes fly when they are heavier than air?

Airplanes generate lift using their wings, which creates a pressure difference that causes the plane to rise. This lift force is greater than the force of gravity acting on the plane, allowing it to stay airborne. The engines provide thrust to propel the plane forward, overcoming drag and allowing it to maintain flight.
