How dose aeroplane fly?

Question

How dose aeroplane fly?

Answer 1

The engines propel them through the air.

Air flowing over the wings generate lift.

The flight controls keep the aircraft under control.

When an aircraft moves through the air, at a certain speed enough lift is generated by the wings to lift it off the ground. The pilot manipulates the flight controls to fly the aircraft as required by him. For landing, power is reduced with consequent loss of lift and aircraft starts to descend. The pilot brings it down with the proper use of the flight controls.

Answer 2

in a nut shell:

engines push it forwards

air flows over and under wings

when the aircraft attains a certain speed, in other words, when the air is moving past the wings quickly enough.

Lift will be generated due to the shape of the wing which is curved on the upper surface.

the air under the wing will want to go up to equalize the low pressure air created by the curved upper surface of wing and in the process, brings the aircraft into the air

there are other factors but in a nut shell, and to avoid confusing you, thats how it works.

PS: contrary to certain beliefs,airplanes do not fly because the wing is "sucked upwards" into the low pressure air.

Answer 3

What does "dose" mean?

Answer 4

It flies because of the shape of the wings. Without going into a whole lot of aerodynamics, the shape creates a low-pressure area on top of the wing and a high-pressure area underneath the wing. The result is the wing is pushed upward, along with the rest of the airplane.

Answer 5

It flies using a phenomena called lift.

Lift is generated whenever there's a low pressure zone above the wing and a relatively high pressure zone below the wing.

When an airplane is creating lift, the angle the wing makes with the relative wind is slightly positive, or angled upwards compared to the flightpath of the aircraft.

Since the wing is a mostly flat surface, usually with a slight curve called a camber on top, it will create a slight vacuum behind the wind as it is angled upwards.

This is because the airfoil or wing is blocking the airflow from going straight across the wing, and thus the airflow has to follow the wing and speeds up in the process. This creates the low pressure zone.

On the other hand, the airflow going under the wing creates a relatively high pressure zone. Since the wing is angled so that the wing will be deflected downwards on the bottom of the wing, the air pressure builds up and in the process slows down. This creates the high pressure zone.

Because of the pressure difference, the air tries to equalize it by pushing the wing up, thus creating lift.
