    Some of the key takeaways from the passage are that it discusses the different parts of an airplane like the elevators, ailerons, and rudder and how they affect the plane's movement. It also talks about concepts like lift, thrust, drag, and gravity in relation to flight.

    The 5 main components of air are nitrogen, oxygen, water vapor, carbon dioxide, and noble gases.

    The part of the plane that causes it to descend is the elevators.
