How does the 747lift the ground with Charles lindberghs?
The Boeing 747 lifts off the ground primarily through its wings, which are designed to create lift as air flows over and under them. When the aircraft accelerates down the runway, its engines generate thrust that propels it forward, while the wing shape and angle facilitate an increase in lift. Charles Lindbergh, famous for his solo transatlantic flight in the Spirit of St. Louis, demonstrated early aviation principles that laid the groundwork for modern aircraft design, including the importance of aerodynamics in achieving flight. While the 747 is a vastly different aircraft, the fundamental principles of lift and thrust remain integral to its operation.

What was Charles Lindbergh's biggest problem in his solo flight across the Atlantic Ocean?
The major problem of the 33-hour flight is that he had worried he did not have enough fuel to finish the flight. It is said that he literally had no fuel left when he entered Paris airspace. He used gravity, not his engine, to land on the runway.
Another serious problem was wing icing, and had it worsened. he might have turned back.
A serious drawback to the design of his aircraft was that he could not see straight ahead, his view being blocked by a spare gas tank. He had to look out of his side window.
