How does an aeroplane take off?

Short Answer

Solution

  1. An aeroplane takes off because its wings produce an upward lift force when air flows around them.
  2. The shape and angle of the wings make air move faster over the upper surface than below it. This creates lower pressure above the wing and higher pressure below it, producing lift.
  3. When the lift becomes greater than the weight of the aeroplane, it rises from the ground and takes off.
