Forces of Flight

Slide 47

Determine whether an airplane rises or falls through the air: Thrust Drag Lift Gravity (Weight) Four Forces of Flight

Slide 48

Slide 49

The force that pushes or pulls a plane forward through the air. Propellers, jet engines, tailwinds, and other outside sources even catapults! can provide needed thrust. Thrust

Slide 50

The force that resists forward motion and acts against thrust. Created by friction between the plane and the atmosphere. If the force of drag is too great, then a plane will move slower and will lose lift. Drag

Slide 51

The force of lift exceeds the planes weight, the plane rises. Lift

Slide 52

Earths gravity pulls the plane downward, giving the plane weight. Gravity / Weight

Slide 53

THRUST DRAG
