Note that the job of the engine is just to overcome the drag of the airplane, not to lift the airplane. A 1 million pound airliner has 4 engines that produce a grand total of 200,000 of thrust. The wings are doing the lifting, not the engines.

Im confused as to how it actually "lifts its nose" ... Well to be able to lift off the ground you need lift which comes from the airplanes wings. once you have enough lift to support the aircraft you pull back on the controls which deflects the elevators on the tail of the airplane to lift the nose...

A control wing was tested in a wind tunnel and a weight scale was used to record the amount of lift that it produced. The scale measured the lift produced by recording the amount of force exerted the scale.

When an airplane wing produces lift, the air above the wing moves faster than the air below the wing. The faster the air speeds up, the lower its pressure becomes. So the faster moving air above has less pressure than the slower moving air below.

The amount of lift generated by an object depends on a number of factors, including properties of the air, the velocity between the object and the air, the surface area over which the air flows, the shape of the body, and the body's inclination to the flow, also called the angle of attack.
