For my inquiry project, I chose the topic: how do airplanes fly. I am researching the physics behind airplanes and how they work. I will be looking at the forces that affect planes, the angle of the wings, the plane’s speed, and several other ideas. I have always been interested in this topic and wondered how exactly a plane can “float” in the air. I would like to be a pilot of some kind, so learning about this now will improve my understanding so that I know how a plane works.
