How does a plane...fly?

A question we get a lot is often a simple one, how does an #Aircraft ... fly? Let's start with the short answer first 🔽

The hand demonstration is one of the simplest and most effective explanations I've found yet. Cheers!

When I get asked a broad question like that I just say, “It’s sorcery. No one really knows how it flys”

[jure]

that was a clean presentation brother!

The “pushing up” effect on your hand outside a car window is actually caused by drag, not lift.

The easy answer is getting me more interested.Perhaps you should do a full video of a long answer.

When the wing starts from rest, it dumps a starting vortex. Vorticity of opposite rotation bound up with the wing generates lift by the Magnus effect. When the wing stops, it dumps a stopping vortex. If the wing moves intermittently, it dumps a vortex street. This can be visualised.

How does the high and low pressure define?

[rudybhai]

pressure is inversely proportional to velocity.
while lifting up there was very heigh velocity on upper side of its wings and low velocity on bottom side.
PRESSURE IS HEIGHER AT LOWER PART OF ITS WINGS.
THEREFORE IT LIFTS UP.
IT FOLLOWS BERNOULLI'S EQUATION.

I'm not sure but this is what I learnt in my class

One of the few videos that gives the real answer and not the Bernoulli myth

There's nothing belong to gravity when something fly . Only thing is pressure of air

How space crafts fly in empty space, as there is not anything like air?

[BluelarkAviationLLC-qcrg]

Lift greater than weight? In most circumstances Lift will equal weight except generally when "pulling" G's. Excess thrust is what allows airplane to climb on takeoff. Once in a stabilized climb and no airspeed changes, all of the airplanes forces are equal. I would argue in all the basic senses of flight, forces will equal each other always.

[andndmmcmnf]

So if I put wings on a car it will fly then?

[baviation]

There is a difference between gravity and weight… gravity isn’t the “four forces of flight”… weight= mass x weight…

[vivekchintala]

How the steering system works in planes can you explain on it?

[JustHackIt]

I know this but with the aircrafts with propellers located front, shouldn't the propellers generate air in a way that it will push the plane backwards?

[ajy]

Im still amaze how tons of baggage can be lift up by a plane simply just doing this principle😊

[mohamedsamir]

How does aerobatic planes and fighter jets fly inverted?

[karasimon]

So how do birds fly and stay in the air without an engine (silly question)

[hud]

Air weighs 14lbs per cubic foot. Push enough air down, and you go up
