Unveiling the Mystery of Airplane Flight

An airplane flies by utilizing the principles of aerodynamics. When an airplane moves through the air, its wings generate lift due to the shape of the airfoil and the angle of attack.

To explain briefly:
- The wings are designed with a curved upper surface and a flatter lower surface. As the airplane moves forward, air flows faster over the curved upper surface, creating lower pressure compared to the slower-moving air below the wing.
- This pressure difference results in lift, which counteracts the aircraft's weight and allows it to stay airborne.
- Additionally, the engines generate thrust to propel the airplane forward, while control surfaces like ailerons, elevators, and rudders help the pilot control the aircraft's direction and attitude.
