i am just wondering this because airplanes are my speaciality. i build model 
airplanes, well atleast i try. i am asking this question because i am thinking 
of entering an "airplane model" contest. i just want to make sure that my 
airplane flies. i do know that the shape of the airplane effects the air 
pressure around it. other physics laws apply to the matter as well. please help 
me in regards to this question.
       thanks!
