Not, it is called lift. And trust is the power generated by the engines.

Is the upward force on a airplane wing is thrust?
Thrust is the forward motion of the airplane provided by the engines. Lift is the upward force on an airplanes wing.
Is the upward force on a airplane wing a thrust?
No. We call the upward component of force "lift"."Thrust" is the component of force forward ... the direction the plane's nose points.
The Force of an airplane that opposes thrust is called?
Drag
What force propels an airplane through the air is called what?
Thrust
The upward force acting on the wing of an airplane in flight is called?
Lift.
What is the force in water which pushes upward?
Buoyancy
Where is up thrust?
Up thrust is the force that is in upward direction when a body is dropped in liquid
What is the source of the force of thrust for an airplane?
An engine is the usual source of thrust in an aircraft.
What is the thrust on a airplane?
thrust is the force pushing the plane forward (or pulling in some cases)
How come an airplane floats in air?
Essentially there are 4 aerodynamic forces that act on an airplane in flight; these are lift, drag, thrust and gravity (or weight).In simple terms, drag is the resistance of air (the backward force), thrust is the power of the airplane's engine (the forward force), lift is the upward force and gravity is the downward force. So for airplanes to fly, the thrust must be greater than the drag and the lift must be greater than the gravity (so as you can see, drag opposes thrust and lift opposes gravity).This is certainly the case when an airplane takes off or climbs. However, when it is in straight and level flight the opposing forces of lift and gravity are balanced. During a descent, gravity exceeds lift and to slow an airplane drag has to overcome thrust.
What makes an airplane move faster?
The lift and thrust force makes an airplane go faster.
What force makes it difficult for an airplane to gain altitude fly upward?
These forces are called drag and gravity. Gravity is the downward force on the plane, keeping it from flying, but if the lift, the opposing force, is strong enough, you will achieve flight. Drag is the force pulling you back, making it harder to go forward. This force is produced by air pressure on the front of the plane. The opposing force in this case is thrust, which makes the plane move forward.
