How planes actually fly?
I think and you also may notice that this post should be the very first post. Anyways, I've come up with an idea to write about how planes actually fly.
Planes are the wonders of the century. Planes actually are the outcome of Physics basically.
The main forces that made today planes traveling across the world in short duration of time are Lift, Drag, Thrust.
For an aircraft to take off the most essential force is lift. Without overcoming gravity the plane will just remain on the land in place of being aerial. You may think that how would speeding on the runway could provide plane lift. Actually, on the wings, there are slats and flaps which provide a curvature and bend the air vertically downwards. And as thrust increases and the amount of air increases downwards and so does the force which becomes greater than gravity and plane taking off
is what we can observe and feel. And there are aileron, rudder, and elevators. which assists the traveling of the plane. The elevators help to ascend and descend the plane on the sky. when the elevators are facing downwards then plane goes up and vice-versa. Similarly, the rudder faces left and right. The facing of rudder towards the left causes plane to go right and vice-versa. And ailerons turn up and down to balance the lift depending on the direction in the course of bending. It's all the application of Newton's Third Law of Motion. The thrust is produced by the jet engine. The air passes through that compressor and made a plane go with speed. And during landing, the spoilers turn upwards making a plane easier to descend downwards. Basically, the planes Fly By Wire System controls all the ailerons, flaps, slats etc.
