Airplanes cannot stay completely still in the air as they rely on forward motion to generate lift. However, they can maintain a stationary position relative to the ground in certain conditions, such as during hover for helicopters or when using specific techniques like "stationary flight" in some military aircraft. In general aviation, techniques like wind correction can allow planes to appear to hold a position against the wind but they are still in motion relative to the air mass.

Can an airplane stay in the sky?

I am going to assume that aeroplane=airplane when I answer this. An airplane stays in the air by generating lift on its wings. As long as an airplane can generate sufficent lift it can stay in the air. However once the lift being generated falls below what is required for the plane to stay up... uh oh.

How is an airplane able to stay in the air even though the airplane is heavier than the air?

While the airplane moves, the air pushes up against the wings. This has to do with the special shape of the wing, and, to a great part, to Bernoulli's principle.

Can you visit another state by airplane if your visa is still in process to convert into a student visa in the US?

As long as you have a proof of your legal stay in the US then you can travel by airplane to another state, but it is preferable to travel with your Visa already there especially when you are traveling by Air.


What keeps an airplane up in the sky?

Bernoulli's Principlethe statement that an increase in the speed of a fluid produces a decrease in pressure and a decrease in the speed produces an increase in pressureWind has nothing to do with how an airplane stays in the air. In actuality, an airplane flies better on calm days than on windy ones! It is the act of lift, weight, thrust and Bernoulli's principle (though this principle isn't all that true, since airplanes are able to fly upside down and a model airplane with non-airfoil shaped wings can stay in the air just fine) that determines how an airplane is able to stay in the air.an airplane stays up in the air by the pressure above and below the wings...There is actually more than one force that enables an airplane to stay in the air: that is lift, weight and thrust. Weight has to be less than the force of lift and thrust combined to both get the airplane into the air and keep it in the air.
