I'm practising using a blue print of a Boeing airplane. The side of the mesh seems correctly following the lines. When I try to expand the mesh from the top to follow the lines of the airplane, when I see it from the side view again, the mesh is out of the blue print lines.

How can I fix this?

    $\begingroup$ i would try using S X e.g. to just scale along the x axis and don't destroy the "right" z-axis (as example to your first image) maybe even with proportional editing? $\endgroup$

    $\begingroup$ That was it, I had to scale as you implied S X axis, I was making the mistake just scaling S that's why it was going out of the line art. I'm currently learning how to model basic shapes using Blue print line art. Thanks for your help. $\endgroup$

    $\begingroup$ You can also press S -> Shift + (XYZ AXIS) to scale on all but the specified axis. So in this example S->Shift+X to scale on all but the X axis. $\endgroup$

you can press S X (YZ) to scale just on one axis.

or

S Shift-X (YZ) to scale just on all axis except x (yz)

For the edge loop you have selected on your pictures, the best choice would be to use S + X to only scale on the X axis, with proportional editing turned on the nearby parallel edge loops are scale too, proportionally with the one you have selected.
