By changing the aerodynamic properties of the fuselage or wings. If you can physically interrupt the flow of air across the body of the aircraft and make it less aerodynamic than you are able to create and increase the amount of drag in flight. The 2 most common ways to increase drag in a modern aircraft is to arm the spoilers (speed brakes) or lower landing gear.

The Force of an airplane that opposes thrust is called?

The force of an airplane that opposes thrust is called drag. Drag is the resistance force that acts opposite to the direction of motion of the aircraft and is caused by the interaction of the aircraft with the surrounding air.


What force must be created by an airplane in order to overcome drag?

The thrust force produced by the airplane's engines must be greater than the drag force acting against it in order to overcome drag and maintain forward motion. This allows the airplane to continue moving through the air and generate lift to stay aloft.
