The Four Forces of Flight
Powered flight relies on four primary physical forces that act on an aircraft simultaneously: 1, 2
Lift: The upward force created by the wings that overcomes gravity.
Weight: The downward force of gravity pulling the aircraft toward the center of the Earth.
Thrust: The forward force produced by the engines or propellers to move the aircraft forward.
Drag: The rearward retarding force of air resistance opposing the aircrafts forward motion. 1, 2, 3, 4
During straight and level flight, lift equals weight thrust equals drag.
