In terms of mechanics, an inclined plane is a machine. To raise something through a given height, it takes less force to roll or slide it along an inclined plane as opposed to lifting it straight up. The down side is that you have to roll or push it much further than a simple lift. In the absence of friction, the total work done, in either case, is exactly the same.

What is an importance of airplane?
Airplanes are very important. We use them for attack, bomber, and fighter aircraft. They also help the military see what the enemy's territory looks like using reconnaissance planes. They help locate the enemy and direct the military to it. Some are used to patrol certain areas. Others help forecast the weather. There are planes that help rescue people, called search and rescue aircraft. And there are some airplanes that even refuel other planes in mid-flight! There are also civilian planes. These planes carry passengers and cargo across the world. Others are just to fly for fun, and trust me, it is fun!
