Thrust would point in the direction of travel.
Drag would counter thrust, so generally in a direction 180 degrees from the thrust vector's direction.
The lift vector would point in the direction (generally) away from the center of the earth.
The gravity vector would point toward the center of the earth.

What are The four forces acting on an airplane in flight are?
The four forces acting on an airplane in flight are lift, weight (or gravity), thrust, and drag. Lift is generated by the wings and opposes the force of gravity. Thrust is produced by the engines and overcomes the force of drag, which is caused by air resistance.
What are the 4 forces on an airplane?
Lift, Gravity, thrust and drag
What are the forces of a helicopter?
Thrust, Drag, Lift, Weight (Gravity).
What forces are involved in achieving launch?
Well, there obviously gravity and lift. But there are two more. They are drag and thrust. Gravity operates all the time. Then you give thrust to the aircraft, to create lift, and drag will automatically operate. Gravity pulls you down, lift pushes you up, drag slows you down and thrust accelerates you. Gravity and drag are both bad for launch. Lift and thrust are absolutely essential for launch. So there you have it. Gravity, Lift, Thrust, Drag
How does the lift thrust drag and gravity affect a helicopter?
Thrust from the helicopter's rotor blades generates lift, which enables the helicopter to overcome gravity and stay airborne. Drag acts as a resistance opposing the helicopter's forward movement, requiring additional thrust to maintain speed. Gravity affects the helicopter by constantly pulling it downward, necessitating continuous lift to counteract and remain in the air.
What are the four forces push pull?
thrust drag lift and gravity
What are the four force acting on a airplane?
lift, thrust, drag and weight(gravity)
How does a plane move through the air?
By overcoming gravity with lift and drag with thrust.
What four things make an airplane fly?
Thrust, lift, gravity, and drag
What are the four forces that act on planes?
The four forces that act on a plane in flight are lift, weight (gravity), thrust, and drag. Lift is generated by the wings to overcome gravity (weight), while thrust from the engines propels the plane forward to overcome drag, which is the resistance of the air against the forward motion of the aircraft.
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 forces of lift thrust gravity and drag overcome each other?
