How do planes fly upside-down?

Question

I understand that the wing of the plane creates downforce, lifting the plane into the air, so how do planes fly upside-down? Wouldn’t the wings start pushing the plane down into the ground once flipped?

Answer 1

Angle of attack (or angle to the wind) is important to create lift. Think about how a kite works. You can flip a kite upside down and itll work the same.
