working on it

Gdeinward · Answer

Lift is creating by foward movement and the wings of the plane.

Gdeinward · Answer

The wings are shaped in such a way, that the bottom side of the wing has high pressure, and the top side of the wing has low pressure. By pressure, I mean upward force.

Here is an image illustrating this:

Gdeinward · Answer

Any plane, no matter how heavy it is, if it has a powerful enough engine, and the proper shape in the wings, it will fly

Gdeinward · Answer

The gliding effect is a result from the processes I explained already. As the speed of the plane slows down, the plane drops in elevation, but still maintaining lift.

Gdeinward · Answer

Thats the bare minimum. If you want to know how a plane maneuvers in the air, or other facts like that, theres a little more explaining required
