How do Planes Fly - Explanation

How Do Aeroplanes Fly

Planes are really helpful they help humans get from one side of the earth to the other side. It comes in different shapes and sizes. There are four different forces, lift, thrust, drag and weight. American aviation pioneers Orville and Wilbur Wright (The Wright Brothers) created the first successful airplane.

When the plane's propellers spin it gives the aeroplane a forward force called thrust. Thrust is generated from an engine attached to the wings. Thrust is used to overcome the drag of a plane it.

Drag is is generated from every part of a plane, even the engine. It is the force that goes to the opposite direction of the motion. Drag is caused by friction and differences in air pressure. When an airplane is flying straight and at an even speed, the thrust it produces balances its drag.
Lift is the force that holds an airplane in the air. The wings create most of the lift used by airplanes. As a plane moves forward, its lift force increases until it equals its weight. When lift equals weight, the plane can fly.
Weight is the force caused by gravity. Weight and lift are equal when a plane flies. Because weight requires more lift, and therefore more thrust, heavy planes are more difficult to get off the ground as compared to lighter planes. Planes with less weight requires less thrust.

Planes are designed to be as light as possible.  Each force has an opposite force that works against it. Lift works opposite of weight. Thrust works opposite of drag. When the forces are balanced, a plane flies in a level direction. We are lucky that we have seat belts for safety and if we did not have safety we fall off our seat and hurt ourselves when where landing or taking off.

Blog Commenting

My Comment on Jeremiah's Blog Post

Average weather in Auckland

  L.I: To Accurately interpret data and to accurately present data
This week we have been been learning how to interpret and present multiple data points using average and line graphs. The probability of going to the beach at January, February, march and December is really high because the temperature is mostly over 20. The probability of using a rain coat and umbrella in June and August is really high because the the average rain temperature is higher than 30. I learnt how interpret and present multiple data points using average and line graphs.

Balloon Experiment


This week for inquiry we did an experiment with balloons. For our experiment we needed a long line around 7m stuck on each wall and a straw attached to it. When we had that we blew up a balloon and attached it to the straw with tape. Once we did that we the group counted back from 3 and then Mr Ogilve let go of the balloon and it went from one side to the other. We did the same thing for each balloon then made a Bar graph on our experiment.

General Knowledge: Cook Islands


Today Jeremiah and I have made a General Knowledge on the Cook Islands. I really enjoyed doing this because I learnt so much new things. Around 20.000 People live on the Cook Islands

I Wonder Italy


This week I have Done a I wonder on Italy. I did This because I thought it would be a very interesting country to learn about. I learnt that a french painter called Leonardo DA Vinci painted the Mona Lisa.

Mannequin Challenge

Today before Morning tea Mr Ogilve had a brilliant idea of doing the mannequin challenge. If you don't know what the mannequin challenge is, You have to stand in one position like a mannequin. I really enjoyed doing this because I thought it was cool doing a challenge with the class. Thanks To Mr Wong and Mr Ogilve for making this happen

Explanation: Language Feature and Structure


L.I: To learn the structure and language feature's of an explanation text
This is my second writing must do for this week. For our task we had to make a poster showing the language features and structure for an explanation text. I learnt the structure and language features of an explanation. Next time I will try and learn more things about an explanation text.

Questions: How do Aeroplanes fly


L.I: To infer information from the text
This week we have been learning how to infer. For our must the was some questions we had to answer. I found this quite easy because I knew most of the questions I was asked.

Bar Graph's


L.I.To accurately collect data,to accurately present data & to accurately interpret data

Today Jeremiah and have been working on a bar graph trying to find out Ls1's favorite movies. As you can see the most favorite movie is Fast and The Furious because 26 people voted for the movie. I enjoyed doing this because it was fun finding out Ls1's favorite movies. It also helped me to explain Ls1's favorite films without writing down to much information.

Newtons Third Law


Today I have been learning about Issac Newtons third law. In our lesson we watched a video about newton's third law. In that video it showed if we apply a force on the ground it will give the same amount of force back. After the video we went outside doing experiments with a netball, small ball and a Hacky sack. Today I learnt what newton's third law is.

Wing Size and Lift Experiment


L.I: To investigate the effect of wing area on lift
This is our wing size lift experiment must do. We got given three choices to choose from in our groups. Then we had to cut them out and fold it the right way. After that we went outside to test our helicopters. We predicted that the large helicopter should have a fast fall and the thin helicopter is going to have a slow fall. We tested our helicopters and the larger helicopter had a slower fall and the thin helicopter had a faster fall. I learnt that if you have bigger wings it will have a slower fall and if you have a thinner wings you will get a faster fall.
