There is a lot of explanation: but these are the basics: An airplanes wing is in a special shape it is flat on bottom and Curved on top. When a plane picks up speed the air must get from in front of the wing to the back of the wing. ( there cannot be a vacume!) Because the wing is curved air on top of the wing has to travel faster than the air on the bottom. The laws of physics state that as velocity (speed) increases, pressure decreases. therefore the atmospheric pressure on the top of the wing decreases and the plane rises.

What does aircraft takeoff distance mean?
The amount of runway needed form the time the brakes are released to the time the aircraft becomes airborne
How do aircraft propellers keep the aircraft airborne?
For an aircraft to stay aloft, the an air current has to move over the wings in a specific way. The propellers generate the air current and direct it in the proper way to keep the aircraft airborne.
What aircraft technology was developed during world war 2?
Airborne radar, jet aircraft and rocket aircraft.

The aircraft AWACS stands for what?
AWACS stands for Airborne Warning and Control System. It is not a particular type of aircraft, but the equipment it carries.
How much thrust is needed to get a biplane airborne?
That depends on the weight and design of the aircraft.
At what speed does a fighter jet get airborne?
That depends on which aircraft and how much load it's carrying.
How long can an f-14 stay airborne?
Several hours depending on the speed of the aircraft, the altitude and its weight.
What is airborne speed?
It depends on the weight of the aircraft but a jumbo jet must be at least over 200 mph
How do aircrafts communicate with each other in airborne internet?
Most aircraft still use radio to communicate between themselves and the nearest Air Traffic Control Centre. Airborne Internet Access is still in its early days and various ways to enable it in a way that is safe for the aircraft
