How Plane Can Fly?

Now, almost everyday we see planes are flying above. Inside, there are hundreds of
people sitting, walking, even running. Have you ever wondered why such a heavy
metal object can float so freely in the air? How can the airplanes fly like birds?

Do you know that airplanes can generate energy? That is why this object can fly,
because of the force. Such a force, scientifically called as Lift, can move an
airplane upward. How come?
There are mainly four forces which contribute to fly an airplane. They are Weight, Thrust,
Drag and Lift. How do those work? First, to move an airplane forward, the Thrust created
by the engines must be greater than the force produced by the air resistance called as Drag.

Second, to move the airplane upward, it needs enough forward motion. The airplane can
only fly if the force of Lift is much greater than in Weight. This process can push an
airplane to fly.
