Lift is equal to drag, so if the drag was 12000N (newtons) the lift would be 12000N. it is mainly used for slowing the aircraft down for decend.
For thrust. Engines are used to overcome the drag of the airplane.
Airplane flaps are used during takeoff and landing to increase lift and drag, which helps the plane to reduce speed for landing and take off. At cruising speeds, the airplane is already flying efficiently and has no need for the extra lift and drag provided by the flaps.

Drag is a force that acts opposite to the direction of movement of an airplane. Drag is mainly caused by air. The other forces that act on the plane while moving in the air are thrust, lift etc..
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.
Flaps would increase drag increasing your speed will increase it even more
drag
the force created by air resistance
have you ever seen birds fly in a v? the drag from the leader pushes the other birds faster. so it kinda swirls
Drag effects paper airplane just as it affects anything else that moves. It is either parasitic or induced on paper airplanes. Drag may reduce a paper airplanes speed and/or range.
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.
