Default Why airplanes fly

Why airplanes fly? Because if they didn't, they'd be cars.

Default Why airplanes fly

The Plane I fly has a big fan on the front.
I know thats what makes it fly because when it stopped I had to land.
Thats to say I did no have much of a choice in the matter.

I always thought of that big fan as an air conditioning system
Because when it stops the pilot starts to sweat

And if you pull the wings off of a fly, you have created a new insect
called a walk.

If you don't put it down gently it's a crash.

Mxsmanic,

That is a very concise and accurate statement and a good generalized
response to a layperson asking the question "how do airplanes fly?".

I see no reason for all of the snide comments from others.

I commend you for continuing to post in these newsgroups in spite of the
harassment you have been subject to.

Fixed-wing aircraft fly because their wings generate lift as they move
forward
through the air.

Tomorrow's lesson. Which way is up?

I see no reason for all of the snide comments from others.


Me neither.

He is special that way.

Art,

Once you buy a clue, you will only be a dumb ass.

Until then, why don't you try sticking your head up your ass, and shutting
the hell up.

Oh, sorry. You must already have your head up your ass.

By the way, you won't win any friends around here, at least not any that
have the slightest grip on reality.

Your comments say much more about you than anyone else. If you only
had the insight to see how maniacally fanatic and arrogantly
disrespectful your public display of incivility is, you would be
profoundly chagrined. I'm ashamed to count you among fellow airmen.
Grow up.
