What are the forces of a plane flying at a steady height?
Thrust, drag, lift, and weight.
What is a aeroplanes drag?
Drag is simply an external force that affects the motion of airplanes and offers resistance to the motion of the plane.Drag force of a flying plane is compensated by the weight of the plane and the the the forward motion.

How can drag be reduced when flying a plane?
Keeping the aircraft as light as possible. Having the centre of gravity as far back(aft) as the flight manual will allow. Flying at the minimum drag speed.
What is the drag of an airplane?
The drag of an airplane is the air resistance caused by the plane flying through air. Similar to when you pull your hand through water and feel resistance.
Why do aeroplane takes wheels inside when flying?
The landing gear is retracted after take-off. This is because, when the plane is flying at great speed the landing gear produces a lot of drag. This slows the plane down. So the landing gears are retracted.
Which is faster between a plane flying at an altitude of 6000 feet and a plane flying at an altitude of 15000 feet if they are both using the same amount of fuel?
The higher up in the atmosphere you are, the thinner the air and therefore the less the drag on the plane. Thus if both planes' engines are under the same power (using the same amount of fuel) the plane at the higher altitude will have a faster airspeed.
What is the drag coefficient of the 2014 Bentley Flying-SPUR?
The 2014 Bentley Flying-SPUR has a drag coefficient of 0.29 Cd.
Does a plane flying at 10000 ft get there the same time as a plane traveling at 30000ft?
Probably not since flying at 10000 feet means it would face more drag (air resistance). To overcome the additional air resistance, it would have to carry more fuel and so would be more massive.
When was flying in a plane open to public?
Flying in a plane has always been open to the public.
An airplane flies at constant speed in a horizontal straight path in other words the flying plane is in equilibrium two horizontal forces act on the plane one is the thrust of the propellers that push?
The other in your scenario is air friction / "drag".
What is the drag coefficient of the 2008 Bentley Continental-Flying-SPUR?
The 2008 Bentley Continental-Flying-SPUR has a drag coefficient of 0.31 Cd.
What is the drag coefficient of the 2007 Bentley Continental-Flying-SPUR?
The 2007 Bentley Continental-Flying-SPUR has a drag coefficient of 0.31 Cd.
