Maybe you have ever thought and asked yourself or asked someone else, "Why can an airplane fly?" Airplanes have very heavy weights, but why can planes fly far into the air? Is it because as the name implies, why can you fly? Yes ... to answer that question, please refer to some reasons, the basics and the theory of why the plane can fly.


The aircraft can fly because there is momentum from the horizontal drive of the aircraft engine (Engine), then the engine boost will cause a difference in the velocity of the air flow below and above the wing of the aircraft. The air velocity above the wing will be larger than below the wing because the distance of the air layer that flows over the wing is greater than the distance below the wing, the travel time of the air layer through the upper wing and under the wing is the same. According to Bernoully's law, large air velocities cause small air pressure. so that the air pressure under the wing becomes larger than the upper wing of the aircraft. So that the lift will arise which makes the plane fly.


There are several main parts of the aircraft that make the plane fly perfectly, including the following:

1. The fuselage is included in it; Cockpit and passenger space (Passenger).

2. Wing (Wing), there is an Aileron function to "Rolling" the plane tilted left - right and Flap to increase the area of ​​the wing (Coefficient Lift) which is useful to increase the lift force of the aircraft.

3. Wing tail (Horizontal Stabilazer), there is an elevator functioning for "pitching" nose UP - DOWN.

4. Upright fin (Vertical Stabilizer), there is a Rudder function for "Yawing" turn left - right.

5. Engine (Engine), functions as Thrust or thrust force that produces aircraft speed.

6. Landing Gear, serves to land / landing or take off / Take-off.


Basically if the plane is flying it always combines the control functions above, for example; if the plane turns right or left, then the Aileron and Rudder are driven, so while turning the plane is tilted so that the turn turns shorter, which can save time and save fuel consumption
