In Movies With Planes, Do They Use a Real Plane? And How Do They Make It Look As If Its Flying?

Like In Snakes on a Plane and Knight and Day.|||they don't use whole planes, more like parts of a plane. it's kind of like pirates of the Caribbean. the people built a ship and put it on giant hydraulics to move the ship around. like up and down or tip it to the side. in snakes on a plane, they used parts of a plane to film the people walking, screaming, and freaking out. then put it on the ground and just had the people acting like their moving around, and i think they even shook the camera to give it the effect of movement. like all the turbulence the plane went through. hope that helped!|||typically they will either use a set that looks like an airplane-- often only half a planefor as long as they need for their scenes





for situations where they need to mimic turbulance etc they have a machine called a 'gimble' which has hyrdaruic underneath in like 9 or more points allowing them to move the set like a mechanical bull-- often a gimble will actually have a piece of real airplane as the airplane part with only enough seats remived to make room for the cameras





as far as clouds/rain they just surround teh gimble by a Green screen , an dadd the effects in post production





for gremlins on the wing (Twilight Zone FTW) they'd simply add a wing piece to the outside of the gimble and either through practical or digital effects put the creature outside
