How do planes fly?

The engines that enable the planes to move forward are their wings, rather than their raising. Although the motors and the wings are very different from each other in terms of their general structure, both progress and ascension occur as a result of similar physical processes. Let's first consider how the engines and then the wings work.

When the aircraft engines are started, the propellers in them begin to turn. It is the shape of the propellers, allowing the planes to move forward. While the propellers are rotating, they compress the air remaining in the rear part of the aircraft and dilute the air remaining in the front part. This causes the air pressure acting on the rear of the propellers to be larger than the air pressure acting on the front parts. Thus, a clear force acts on the plane forward and the plane begins to advance. In summary, it can be said that the circular motion provided by the energy used in the motors turns into a translational motion thanks to the shapes of the propellers.

It is also the pressure difference that makes the planes rise. As the plane moves forward, the wings compress the air beneath them and dilute the air above them. This causes a pressure difference between the upper and lower parts of the aircraft. Thus, a clear force starts to act on the plane upward and the plane rises.
