Ever wondered how a giant metal bird flies in the sky? It's not magic. It's pure science.
Airplanes fly because of a force called lift. When the plane moves forward, air flows over and under the wings. The top of the wing is curved and the bottom is flat. This shape makes air move faster on top and slower underneath. That difference in speed creates lift, which pushes the plane up.
Combine that with thrust from the engines and you've got flight. The pilot controls direction with parts like the rudder, ailerons, and elevators.
Next time you see a plane, remember it's flying on science. Want more fun facts? Follow for more.
