I think you might be referring to the four forces of flight.
LIFT -- force provided by the wing and in perpendicular direction to the wing. In straight and level flight the lift is exactly equal to the aircraft weight.
WEIGHT -- the force pulling vertically down on the airplane due to gravity. In straight and level flight this is equal to the lift.
THRUST -- the force that pulls the airplane forward, provided by the propeller or jet engine. If the airplane is flying at a constant speed in level flight, this thrust is exactly equal to the drag.
DRAG -- the aerodynamic force on the airplane in the opposite direction of its travel. Drag is due to skin friction, form drag (drag around wheels, struts, etc) and induced drag (produced by the wing as a side effect of lift)

How does the shape of an airplane's fuselage affect its flight?
An airplane's fuselage affects it flight by a lot. It can change its speed, maneuverability, angle of attack, and even its necessary-for-flight wing size.
Can I read my Kindle on an airplane?
Yes, you can read your Kindle on an airplane as long as the device is in airplane mode during the flight.
Does the shape of a airplane wing affect the flight?
Yes the shape of an airplane wing will affect the flight. Angles and shapes will always be a huge factor.
