Aeroplane Query

This may be or would be stupid to ask this. I have seen rockets fly because of the thrust they are giving, which is capable to its flight in a straight manner! 😁 But what is the case with an Aeroplane??? How does it fly?

PS: Is the spelling Aeroplane right? It shows some error in chrome...

    See when an aeroplane flies, it has four forces acting on it.
    1.Weight of aeroplane
    2. Lift generated to fly
    3.Thrust to move ahead,
    4. Drag

    Basically, it flies by maneuvering its wings.

    Aeroplane (Google goes by the American spelling Air plane. I prefer the aeroplane version. There is a Tamil joke: when landing, Aeroplane becomes Irangoplane!)
    These are heavier than air vehicles. As Ishan says, they stay up because of the 'lift' created by the wings. For a given plane with a given all up weight, there is a minimum velocity called stall speed below which the lift is insufficient to keep the plane up. Once this is achieved, the thrust created by the jet engine or by the propeller blowing air backwards keeps the plane moving forward. The pilot adjusts the angle of attack of the wings (actually ailerons at the trailing edge of a portion of the wings) to maintain level flight.
    If you are going to fly any plane based on this info please inform earlier, so that we can take a train.

    I know trains derail. It may be safer to walk (not in Bangalore traffic, Madras was not much better), Trains are now much safer since Mamta 'amma' is busy derailing West Bengal like 'J' may.

    hiiiiiii,
    In case of airplane the forward motion is because of the change momentum of the air entering into the engine of the aircraft.during the journey of the air through the engine it will gain velocity,so that it will have change in momentum.because of that change in momentum thrust will be produced according to newtons second law.To know more refer some books on aircraft propulsion....😁
