How does a plane remain in air?

Bernouli's Principle... Fasting moving air has lower pressure.

Plane wings have a flat bottom and curved top. The air as the front of the wing has to meet up at the back of thing wing, but has further to travel so the air on the top is faster than the air on the bottom, and therefor the pressure is lower on top than the bottom.

Stuff always moves from high pressure to low pressure, so the plane moves up.

How can a plane not be detected on radar?

The impedance of plane material is made equal to the impedance of air,in this way the waves sent by radar does not reflect by material of plane and pass through plane and do not come back to radar.That is why,plane remain invisible to radar.This material was invented by a PHD proffesor in UET Lahore Pakistan.

They could not remain conscious unless they either pressurized the cabin of the plane or wore a face mask that supplies them with pressurized air.


How can an airplane carry so much weight and still fly?

It's all in the physics. A plane has plenty of surface area thanks to its wings, and this creates lift, an upward force that pushes the plane into the air, when pushing against air with the wings at the right angle. Thrust from the jets helps the plane stay in motion in the air. If these two forces are greater than drag (against thrust) or weight (against lift), the plane will remain airborne.

What is the drag force caused by on a plane?

The drag force on a plane is caused by air resistance as the plane moves through the air. This resistance is due to the friction between the air molecules and the surface of the plane, which opposes the plane's forward motion.

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.


Why does the air pressure above an airplane wing differ from the pressure below it how is this pressure difference involved in flight?

Air pressure above the wing is relatively smaller than that below the wing because that is what generates the lift the plane needs to fly into the sky, but if it is the other way round, the lift won't be generated and the plane will remain on ground.
