A plane's engines are designed to move it
forward at high speed. That makes air flow rapidly over the wings,
which throw the air down toward the ground, generating an upward force called lift that overcomes the plane's
weight and holds it in the sky. So it's the engines that move a plane forward,
while the wings move it upward.
How do wings make lift? Wings make lift by changing the direction and pressure of the air that crashes into them as the engines shoot them through the sky.
For those that keep wondering how do airplanes fly. This video from KLM might gives you some answer. And it's easy to understand.
