Newton's Laws play a big role in how airplanes fly. Let's break it down into simple parts:

1. Newton's First Law (Inertia):

   • An airplane won't move unless something pushes it.
   • For example, a Boeing 747 is super heavy, about 400,000 pounds! It needs about 8,000 pounds of push (thrust) to start moving down the runway.

2. Newton's Second Law (F=ma):

   • The way an airplane speeds up depends on the thrust it gets and how heavy it is.
   • For instance, if you give a plane 27,000 pounds of thrust and it weighs 100,000 pounds, it can reach 250 knots in just 30 seconds!

3. Newton's Third Law (Action-Reaction):

   • This law means that for every action, there is a reaction that's equal and in the opposite direction.
   • Airplane wings push air down to create lift. This lift has to match the airplane's weight to keep it flying smoothly.

So, Newton's Laws help us understand how airplanes can take off, fly, and stay up in the air!
