There are 3 levels of the Principles listed at the top, depending no how deep you'd like to go.

Answer 3

This kind of question is best if you just google it.  There are plenty of websites with pretty pictures that explain it better than few paragraphs here.

Good Luck.

read this alos at the library obtain the kirshner student pilot manual.. it will detail what you need to know.

Answer 5

This is a very deep discussion. I would refer you to the Federal Aviation Administration and the Pilots Handbook of Aeronautical Knowlege.

Nothing found in this answers area will completely answer your question. Refer to this faa document below.

Answer 6

The technology is called aerodynamics.  You need graphics and photographs to understand it.  Just do an internet search on "aerodynamics."

Answer 7

While it is a bit more complicated than this, here are the basics.  

Four forces keep an airplane in the sky. They are lift, weight, thrust and drag.

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.

Weight is the force that pulls the airplane toward Earth. Airplanes are built so that their weight is spread from front to back. This keeps the airplane balanced.

Thrust is the force that moves the airplane forward. Engines give thrust to airplanes. Sometimes an engine turns a propeller. Sometimes it is a jet engine. It doesn't matter as long as air keeps going over the wings.

Drag slows the airplane. You can feel drag when you walk against a strong wind. Airplanes are designed to let air pass around them with less drag.

An airplane flies when all four forces work together. But, most airplanes need one more thing: They need a pilot to fly them!
