How does an airplane stay in the air?
An airplane stays in the air by generating lift, which is the upward force that opposes the weight of the plane. This lift is generated by the wings of the airplane, which are specially shaped to create a low-pressure area above the wing and a high-pressure area below the wing. This difference in pressure creates an upward force on the wing, which then lifts the airplane into the air. The speed at which the airplane travels and the angle of attack of the wings also affect the amount of lift generated. Other factors, such as the shape and size of the airplane, also play a role in determining how well it stays in the air.
