Wow. This thread is brilliant! How is it possible that only 3 or 4 people in this thread actually understand the answer to this question?

The answer has already been given in this thread a couple of times but here's a hint, how do you think rockets take off if they have no wings?

I'm fully admitting I'm stupid because I can't understand the OP, but I'm pretty positive your rocket analogy doesn't apply here. The plane doesn't have rocket engines and they aren't aimed downward.

You know, there are rocket-propelled planes. Imagine that this plane is the Bell X-1 (first manned vehicle to break the sound barrier).

I will agree, however, that the rocket analogy doesn't exactly apply here. It's not completely irrellevant, though.
