An aeroplane is moving horizontally through still air at a uniform
speed. It is observed that when the speed of the plane is increased, its
height above the ground increases. State the reason for this observation.

---

Increase in the speed of the plane decreases the pressure of air above it while
the pressure below it remains high. This leads to a resultant upward force.
