How do planes stay in the air?

Anonymous

Updated: 10/26/2022

As an aircraft's wing moves through the air at speed the air on top of the wing is forced to follow a longer path than the air moving underneath the wing [due to the spahe of the wing]

This reduces air pressure on the upper surface of the wing and creates lift.
