How do airplanes fly

Airplanes fly by utilizing something called Bernoulli’s Principle. Basically, Bernoulli’s Principle states that as airspeed increases, pressure decreases. So when an airplane is in flight, air is pushed downwards on its wings, and the lift generated by this air pressure helps to keep the airplane in the air. It’s like having a giant invisible hand holding it up! Here’s an example: Imagine a plane flying through the sky. The air is moving over the top of the wings faster than the air under the wings. This means that the air pressure on the top of the wings is lower than the air pressure on the bottom of the wings. This difference in pressure causes the plane to be lifted up into the air. Fun fact: A Boeing 747-400 passenger jet has a top speed of 567 miles per hour!
