How Do Planes Fly?

The video explains the principles of powered flight, starting with the Wright brothers' achievement in 1903. It covers the forces involved in flight, such as gravity and lift, and how the shape of the wing, or aerofoil, is crucial in generating lift. The video also discusses Newton's third law of motion and its application in flight, emphasizing that engines provide thrust, not lift. The evolution of flight is attributed to advancements in physics rather than biological evolution.
