The top is rounded in a way and the bottom is flat. This makes lift. That is how a plane stays up in the air.

Can a plane stay still in the air?
yes it can
How does an air plane stay in the air?
By not having enough lift and air speed under the wings.
How does a plane stay up in the air?
The shape of the wing is such that when it moves forward the pressure on top is lower than on the bottom, thus air pressure pushes it upward ... as long as the plane moves fast enough.
How do planes stay in the sky?
because the airfoil shape makes tiny air molecules at the bottom slow down and the top speed up. The engine just pushes the plane.
Fly the plane or drive the plane?
Both - you fly it in the air, but you drive it on the ground.
Can a plane stay still in the air?
yes it can
Which plane is able to stay longer in the sky?
no NO PLANE CAN STAY IN AIR EXPECT HELICOPTER JUST BECAUSE OF HIS WINGS

How does a plane fly with no engine?
A plane with no engine is a glider. They use the air currents to stay aloft.
How does wind help a paper plane fly?
The wind pushes the plane helping it stay in the air.
How can a jumbo jet stay in the sky?
this question is easy to answer. Simply a jumbo jet means a Boeing 747. To stay in the air the plane first must gain enough knots or speed to lift it self into the air. The throttle must be 100% postioned. then lift the pilot lifts the yoke (the drving stool) up to his chest. The plane ascends into the air. If the plane flys too slanted. The plane would be a stall. It levels it's nose and head at the same lv as it ascends up to 38000 ft.
How does an airplane stay up?
through aerodynamics. The shape of the wing is built so that air passing underneath the wing has more pressure than that above it pushing the plane up.
How do you stop a plane in the air?
You can't stop in the air. If the plane goes too slowly, it loses the air friction that is holding it up, and it falls. You have to be on the ground to stop the plane.
How do you get a one ounce weight to stay in the air for 60 seconds?
Throw it off a plane.
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 long was Orville and Wilbur's plane in the air?
The plane was able to stay in air for just a few minutes. Then it lost power and came down. This successful powered flight was done in 1903.
