About this document
Forces Acting on an Airplane by Moreen Serrano is a document available to read on EtoBox.
Forces acting on an airplane include: 1. Lift opposes gravity and is generated by airflow over wings. 2. Thrust opposes drag and is produced by engines to move the airplane forward. 3. Weight is the downward force of gravity pulling on the airplane. These four forces work to balance each other out to allow for sustained level flight.
