You’re definitely going to be asked about the four forces of flight — so don’t just memorize the words: thrust, drag, lift, and weight.

Thrust is the forward force created by engines or propellers. Opposing it is drag, the aerodynamic resistance that slows the plane down.

Weight is gravity pulling the aircraft toward Earth, and lift is the upward aerodynamic force that keeps it flying.

Here’s the real question: during straight and level flight, how do these four forces balance each other? Drop your answer in the comments 👇
