Aeroplanes rely on four different scientific forces to fly - thrust, drag, weight and lift - all of which act against each other. When they are all balanced, a plane will fly in a nice ...

It concerns the four forces of flight (lift, weight, thrust, and drag), fluid dynamics, gas dynamics, compressible flow dynamics, and heat transfer. In short, aerodynamics focuses on all objects ...

Aeroplanes can fly because of a careful balance of four physical forces: lift, drag, weight, and thrust. The lift force must balance its weight, and thrust must exceed its drag, to make flying ...
