You do need a preparation. The ball bounces because it is pushed to the earth. The plane flies because the jets push away from the earth. It's all cause and effect. Preparation and result.
Movement makes movement.
Just be sure you make a preparation that is stretched and smooth. Coordinate your arms with your legs. If you want to turn to the right, then you need to coil to the left. This will be reflected by your left shoulder and both arms stretching to the left as you pli . You've got to go down to go up.
