Certainly! An airplane flies due to a combination of four forces: lift, weight (gravity), thrust, and drag. When the engines generate thrust and propel the aircraft forward, air flows over the wings, creating lift. Lift, generated by the shape of the wings and the Bernoulli's principle, counteracts the weight of the airplane. The pilot controls the aircraft's pitch, roll, and yaw using control surfaces like elevators, ailerons, and rudder to maintain balance and stability. By adjusting these forces, the airplane can climb, descend, turn, and maintain controlled flight.
