Answer: As the airplane goes higher, the mechanical energy is changed into gravitational potential energy. While flying, some energy is lost through drag to thermal (heat) energy and sound energy. Some is also lost as the plane makes the air around it move. ... As speed and height decrease, kinetic and potential energy decrease.
