Airplanes stay in the air through a combination of aerodynamic forces, specifically lift and thrust. Lift is generated by the wings of the airplane as it moves through the air, creating a pressure difference that keeps the plane airborne. Thrust is provided by the engines, propelling the airplane forward to maintain its speed and altitude. Additionally, the shape and design of the airplane's wings and fuselage play a crucial role in generating lift and maintaining stability during flight.
