Best Answer

For an airplane to fly, it must always engage in a tug of war between the opposing forces of lift versus weight and thrust versus drag.

What force is used to fly a plane?

Thrust and lift are required to make a plane fly. A plane can use just lift if it is in the air already. The engines create thrust (if the aircraft has engines), and the wings create lift. Helicopters make lift by pushing air down, though.
