They certainly are. Just shut down the engines

and see what the aircraft does. In fact, they overcome gravity by generating a counteracting force called lift using the air motion over their wings. Gravity is still there, it's just that the net downward force has been reduced to zero.

What force pulls an aircraft toward the ground acts against the force of lift in level flight?

Gravity is the force that pulls an aircraft towards the ground, acting against the force of lift generated by the wings in level flight. Gravity pulls the aircraft downward, while lift generated by the wings counteracts this force to keep the aircraft aloft.

What is lift thrust drag weight gravity?

Lift: Force that allows an aircraft to overcome gravity and stay aloft. Thrust: Force that propels the aircraft forward. Drag: Resistance encountered by an aircraft as it moves through the air. Weight: Force exerted on an aircraft due to gravity. Gravity: Natural force that pulls objects towards the center of the Earth.


If gravity pulls things down how come plans fly and not get puuled down?

Planes are able to fly because they generate lift by moving air over their wings through propulsion from engines. This lift force counteracts the force of gravity, allowing the plane to overcome the downward pull and stay in the air.


How many planes does the army have?

The army doesn't have any planes, only helicopters. The Air Force has all the planes. The army does not have fighter planes, but they do have transport planes. The navy has planes as well.
