How does a plane fly

How does a plane fly?

Planes fly by using their wings. The 4 forces of flight are weight, drag, lift and thrust those are the 4 forces of flight. Planes travel 600 mph per hour. Lots of jets are much more faster because they use more fuel to get to places. Planes need fuel to move forward. If planes do not have fuel it wouldn’t fly. Planes and helicopters are not the same, Helicopters use propellers to fly and planes use fuel to fly. The four forces are drag,thrust,weight and lift.Lift is a mechanical force generated by a solid object moving through a fluid.

Drag is the aerodynamic force that opposes an aircraft's motion through the air. Drag is generated by every part of the airplane even the engines!.

Weight is one of the four forces that make a plane come down.It uses the gravity and its weight.

Thrust is the force which moves an aircraft through the air. Thrust is used to overcome the drag of an airplane, and to overcome the weight of a rocket.

One of the events were the twin towers.People had to jump from the tower to save their life or fall 1,362 feet! The next event was the tenerife disaster which was the worst disaster in history.

Today we had to write a information report about how does a plane fly. This is my information of how a plane fly's.
