Thrust is used to make it roll forward. This forward motion causes lift at the wings.
Lift and thrust
Lift keeps an aircraft up, thrust pushes it forward.
Lift, weight, thrust and drag.
Lift and thrust are necessary for an aircraft to fly. The thrust (from a propeller or a jet) starts it rolling and when enough windspeed is flowing around the wings, it will lift.
There are four forces that act on an airplane that keeps it at a level altitude. Thrust, drag, weight, and lift determine whether a pilot flies at a level altitude.
Lift, Gravity, thrust and drag
Lift equals weight and thrust equals drag.
lift and thrust overcome weight and drag
An aircraft needs an engine to get thrust and roll forward to gain lift.
Thrust is the forward motion of the airplane provided by the engines. Lift is the upward force on an airplanes wing.
Thrust is the force that provides an airplane its speed. Thrust must be brought to a certain level and maintained in order for the plane to move at a speed that is sufficient to create lift from the wings.
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.
