Re: The difference between FIRST students (and everyone else)

Planes can fly upside down because they can angle the wings (along with the body). They pull the nose upwards so the thrust is at an angle upwards (not just horizontal). In fact, much of the force to fly comes from this angling of the plane. That's why the front landing gear of a plane leaves the ground first, before the back landing gear (if you've been in a plane).

I had to look that up too. I would have gotten that question right in 5th grade when I played with paper airplanes and stuff. Physics and all that actually made my understanding worse...
