How does an aeroplane stay in the air?
Aeroplanes can fly because of the shape of their wings. The top of the wing is more curved than the bottom. Air rushing over the top of the wings travels further and faster than the air flowing underneath. This produces lower air pressure above the wings than below them, causing the wings to lift.
