Lift is an aerodynamic force that results from the air passing over the curvature of the wing. It causes a reaction. A high pressure on the bottom of the wing and a lower pressure on top of the wing. As a result, high pressure wants to go to low pressure and so the wind is lifted into the air. Drag is the force opposite to thrust. It is created by the airplane as it moves through the air. The faster the airplane, the more the drag.
