- Lift is a positive force caused by the difference in air pressure under and above a wing. The higher air pressure beneath a wing creates lift, and is affected by the shape of the wing. Changing a wing's angle of attack affects the speed of the air flowing over the wing and the amount of lift that the wing creates.
- Weight is the force that causes objects to fall downwards. In flight, the force of weight is countered by the forces of lift and thrust.
- Thrust is the force that propels an object forward. An engine spinning a propeller or a jet engine expelling hot air out the tailpipe are examples of thrust. In bats, thrust is created by muscles making the wings flap.
- Drag is the resistance of the air to anything moving through it. Different wing shapes greatly affect drag. Air divides smoothly around a wing's rounded leading edge, and flows neatly off its tapered trailing edge...this is called streamlining.

We are looking at the principles of flight. How are birds different from kites?
birds are living kites are not. {he she} is right but they have different shapes and sizes. it is just everyday arodamics.
How is the First Airplane like airplanes now?
Aircraft controls now in use are the same as established by Glenn Curtiss. The Basic Principles of Flight have not changed. Flight controls as used by the Wrights became obsolete within a few years.
How do you fly a plane?
Carefully. The best way to learn how to fly an aircraft and the fundamental principles of flight would be to search for your locate flight schools and begin taking some classes if you are so interested. Happy Flying!
