air pressure.

low pressure above wing

high pressure below

caused by shape of wing

if air was thinner (no oxygen in atmosphere) planes would need rockets on them instead of jet engines

Why don't rockets need air to stay up?

This is a bit of a silly question. Rockets create thrust which a force which keeps up. They are not dependant on air to stay u


An air planes wings produce what type of force?

Airplane wings produce lift force, which is the force that enables the plane to overcome gravity and stay airborne. This force is generated by the difference in air pressure above and below the wings as the plane moves through the air.

What force keeps the plane up in the air?

The force that keeps a plane in the air is lift, which is generated by the wings as a result of the shape and angle of the wings. This lift force counteracts the plane's weight, allowing it to stay airborne.


Why do things float in the air?

Things float in the air when the force of buoyancy (upward force exerted by air or a fluid) is greater than the force of gravity (downward force pulling objects toward the earth). This is known as buoyancy and is what allows objects to float or stay suspended in a fluid or gas like air.


What makes aircrafts to fly hundreds of feet above ground and not be atracted by gravitational force and loose altitude?

Aircraft fly and stay in the air because the force of gravity is balanced by the force of lift created by the wings as air rushes over them, and because the force of air friction is balanced by the force of thrust created by the engines.


How does the principle of lift contribute to what keeps a plane in the air?

The principle of lift is what allows a plane to stay in the air. When air flows over the wings of the plane, it creates a force called lift that pushes the plane upward. This force counteracts the force of gravity, keeping the plane airborne.
