Which parts of the plane create lift?

The wings and horizontal tail surfaces create lift.


What force is used to fly a plane?

Thrust and lift are required to make a plane fly. A plane can use just lift if it is in the air already. The engines create thrust (if the aircraft has engines), and the wings create lift. Helicopters make lift by pushing air down, though.


What makes airplane fly?

Lift! The wings on a plane create an upward lift.


How does the speed on an airplane help it fly?

The flow of air over the top surface of the wings provides the lift that holds the plane aloft. The greater the velocity of the flow of air over the wings, the greater the lift. If the plane slows down sufficiently, and the flow of air is reduced enough, there will not be enough lift to hold the plane aloft, and it will begin to fall. When that occurs, it is called a "stall."


What is the flape on the plane and how do they help the plane?

the flaps on a plane increase drag and they create lift so the piolt can fly the plane at a lower speed.


Why is lift important in flight?

Because the plane has to overcome the force of gravity and it has wings to create lift to make the aircraft fly.


What force drives a plane forward through the air allowing the wings to create lift?

thurst


Why is it called an airplane?

aero + plane refers to the geometrical shape of the wings which create lift in the air.


How does a jet plane move in the air?

the same ways as any other plane, by moving at a high speed to create lift under its wings


Why do planes need to run before take off?

The lift required to get the plane off the ground is created by the flow of the air over the planes wings.


What fluid opposes lift?

Compressible fluid force opposes lift. Lift is the upward force due to the fluid flow around an airplane wing. Weight is a downward force caused by gravity which opposes lift.


How much lift does an airplane need to fly?

It depends on the mass of the plane. The heavier the plane, the more lift it needs.
