1) At higher speed you (can) get more lift per area of wing.
2) Smaller wing equals less drag.
The wings on a plane use the scientific law of deflected down-wash. The wings on a plane, or even a bird, are slightly angled upwards. when the propeller pulls the plane to a fast enough speed, huge gusts of wind blow against the wings. The wings force the air downward, and because of every action having an equal or opposite reaction, the plane is force upward. the same thing happens with kites.
What type of airplane, how much does it weigh, and how fast is it traveling. Is it flying level to the horizon, or is it increasing/decreasing elevation. You have to take in to account these factors before you can answer that question.
Lift is what " Lifts" an airplane off of the ground. Most commonly an airfoil wing is used to achieve lift. An airfoil is when the top of the wing is curved and the bottom is flat. This makes the pressure go fast over the top and slow underneath. This means more pressure under it at one time so that makes it go up! I hope that helped you!
The shape of the wings will cause low pressure above the wings and high pressure below the wing creating lift. This Bernoulli's Principle provides only a small part of the lift of a wing and the main lift is generated by the force of the passing air under the wing(called ram air) when the wing is tilted backwards as seen when a plane taking off lifts the nose(rotates) just as a person would experience the upward force when extending one's hand(palm side down) outside the window in a fast moving car and tilting the front(leading edge) of the hand upward.
sonic boom as the planes speed exceeds the sound barrier.
The speed of paper airplanes vary by models.
It is to get the aircraft moving fast enough for the lift under the wings to support its weight.

fast
Because a smaller plane has considerably less drag than a massive plane. Because of their small stature, they have less air they have to force their way through.But then again, most big planes have propeller systems instead of afterburners. If you take a look at the Concorde or the Tu-160 Blackjack etc.. They have powerful engines/a body specially designed to easily cut through the wind.This is why the X-43 is the fastest non-spacecraft in the world, travelling Mach 9.6 as a top speed, yet about a head smaller than your average full-grown man. (However, it is launched from a missile launched from a B-52.) Same thing with missiles.So basically, big planes have more air they need to force through while smaller planes have less. It's all about the weight of the plane, the engines and the shape.
The basic principle is keeping it moving forward fast enough for the wings to get 'lift'. That is of course a simplification as there is much more to it
very fast

Brazil has a very busy aircraft industry and produces MANY airplanes. Most of their smaller airliners look extremely sleek and fast.
I'm assuming you want to know how it flies.The engine(s) get the airplane moving forward and get the air running over the wings. The wing of an airplane is shaped so that the air splits. The air over the top of the wing is going faster than the air below the wing. Following Bernoulli's Principle, the pressure of that air is lower. The higher pressure below the wing pushes the wing (and the airplane attached to the wing), upwards. That is a simple explanation. Find an airplane site to get a detailed explanation.the wings lift the plane and the speed helps it lift if it does not go fast enough it wont fly
Anything over 500 mph is considered 'fast'
People cannot grow wings.
