In order for an airplane to fly what must happen to the four forces?

there are four forces that must equalize essentially.... lift and weight , thrust and drag...
thrust is produced by engine through jet or propeller and must equal or overcome drag which is created by friction and the effects of air pressures over the surfaces of the craft
lift is produced by the forward motion of the airfoil (wing surfaces) and must equal and/or overcome the force of gravity (weight)
thrust and lift work to keep the aircraft in flight, while drag and weight work to bring it down
that is a really simplified answer though

How many forces act on an Airplane?
four
Which four forces causes a airplane to become airborne?
There are two forces that causes an airplane to be airborne. They are Thrust and Lift. The other two forces resists the airplane's flight. They are Gravity and Drag.
Is weight one of the four forces to make an airplane fly?
Yes, weight opposes lift and is one of the four forces
What happens to the four forces in order to make an airplane fly?
The four basic forces acting on an aircraft are Lift, Weight (Gravity), Thrust, and Drag. In order for an aircraft to ascend, Lift must be greater than Weight, and Thrust must be greater than Drag.
What are the forces on an airplane?
There are four forces that act on an airplane that keeps it at a level altitude. Thrust, drag, weight, and lift determine whether a pilot flies at a level altitude.
What are the four forces that act on an airplane in flight?
Lift, weight, thrust and drag.
What will happen to the astronaut when the jets produce these four forces?
The question cannot be answered unless more specific information is provided about what the "four forces" are
What are the 4 forces of aerodynamics?
The four forces of flight acting on an airplane in flight are, Lift,Weight,Thrust and Drag. They are all in equilibrium when an unaccelerated flight is exist.
How do Birds use the Four Forces of Flight?
Birds use the four forces of flight kind of like an airplane does. Lift pulls them up and weight pulls them down. Thrust pulls them up and drag pulls them down.
What are the 4 aerodynamic forces of flight?
the four forces of flight are lift,drag,weight/gravity and thrust.I have no clue how to describe them.........i hope that helps!
What are the four forces of flight?
The four forces that act on an airplane in Flight are Lift (upward generated by the wings), weight (Down generated by gravity, Thrust (forward generated by the engines), and drag (essentially backward generated by the resistance of the aircraft to the atmosphere).
List and describe the four forces acting on an airplane during flight?
I told you go to the website man and quit trying to cheat or this will be a F!
