How do airplanes fly

We all know the various means of the transportation. Among the various types of the transportation the amazing transportation is by air. We all are familiar by the aeroplanes. We too may have travelled through it. If we see the physics towards the aeroplane structure and it's mechanism then we can conclude that it is very vast. Wright brothers were the one who first invented the aeroplane. He took off to 120 feet. He made his journey from north Carolina. At that time modern engines and technology were not available but today also the same concept has been applied to make the aeroplanes outer design and parts.
      First of all the thing to understand is the thrust that the air engines provide while moving horizontally. At first the speed is low and the drag is overcome. Drag is the air resistance that is provided by the air molecules and the thrust has to overcome this drag. Slowly and gradually the speed of the plane increases and more thrust is provided which falls on the two sides wings of the plane also called airfoil shape which is slight curve in shape let the air to move downward and according to Newton's third law of motion it state that to every action there is an equal and opposite direction and when the air moves downward the upward force is provided due to which the plane moves upward. It is also amazing to study that all normal force balance each other. Gravity is equally balanced by lift and drag is equally balanced by the thrust produced by the engine. Radar, descent and wings are responsible for all the moments in the plane. While changing the direction in the plane may cause some discomfort to the patience sitting in the plane. This happens due to the change in the motion as per by the inertia.
    Hence this is the short briefing of the science behind the flying of the airplane.
