Winglift.Lift is pressure on the wing due differential air pressure below and above wing. This difference results from the difference in curvature of the wing top and bottom..

How can airplane stay up on air?

yh if it has enough petrol


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 is an airplane able to stay in the air even though the airplane is heavier than the air?

While the airplane moves, the air pushes up against the wings. This has to do with the special shape of the wing, and, to a great part, to Bernoulli's principle.


How do planes stay up?

Lift pushes the airplane up. The way air moves around the wings gives the airplane lift. The shape of the wings helps with lift, too.


How does a wing help an airplane fly?

The wind pushes the airplane helping it to stay in the air and fly.


What keeps an airplane up in the sky?

Bernoulli's Principlethe statement that an increase in the speed of a fluid produces a decrease in pressure and a decrease in the speed produces an increase in pressureWind has nothing to do with how an airplane stays in the air. In actuality, an airplane flies better on calm days than on windy ones! It is the act of lift, weight, thrust and Bernoulli's principle (though this principle isn't all that true, since airplanes are able to fly upside down and a model airplane with non-airfoil shaped wings can stay in the air just fine) that determines how an airplane is able to stay in the air.an airplane stays up in the air by the pressure above and below the wings...There is actually more than one force that enables an airplane to stay in the air: that is lift, weight and thrust. Weight has to be less than the force of lift and thrust combined to both get the airplane into the air and keep it in the air.


How long did the first airplane stay in the air for?

12 seconds


Does an aluminum airplane stay in the air the longest?

we are having a science fair at my school and I've been trying to figure out if an aluminum airplane stays in the air the longest.if so why?


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.


What the diference between an glider and an airplane?

a glider does not have a motor to power it along whereas an airplane does tand that is why a glider does not stay in the air for very long


Will a crumbled up airplane fly further then a regular paper airplane?

No , a crumpled up airplane will have problems with the air not flowing smoothly across the wings .


What is the rec distance for a paper airplane?

about 12 seconds, if the paper airplane can fly it would stay up longer
