THE PHYSICS OF FLIGHT
It is necessary to comprehend the forces of flight (lift, weight, drag, and push), the Bernoulli
Principle, and Newton’s first and third equations of motion in order to comprehend flight. The
physics of flight explains how planes take off and land safely, as well as how they travel across
the sky.
An airplane is subjected to four forces at any given time. Lift, weight (or gravity), drag, and
thrust are the four forces at work. The main aerodynamic force that keeps objects in the air is lift.
Lift is the force that resists weight, allowing an airplane to stay in the air. Weight is the vertical
force that pulls all objects, including airplanes, toward the Earth’s core. Something (lift) must
force an airplane in the opposite direction of gravity in order for it to fly. The weight of an object
determines the amount of pressure (lift) required. That pressure…
