An airplane flies through the air using four main mechanisms: (1) its wings generate lift as air flows over and under them, (2) its propeller or jet engines provide forward thrust, (3) its control surfaces such as ailerons, elevators, and rudder allow for steering and stability, and (4) its landing gear and brakes allow it to take off, land, and stop safely on the ground.
