Thrust is used to make it roll forward. This forward motion causes lift at the wings.

Lift, weight, thrust and drag.


How is lift and thrust used in an airplane?

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.


What are the forces on an airplane?

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.

What is the relationship of lift drag thrust and weight when the airplane is in straight-and-level flight?

Lift equals weight and thrust equals drag.


How an airplane flys?

lift and thrust overcome weight and drag


Why does an airplane need thrust?

An aircraft needs an engine to get thrust and roll forward to gain lift.


Is the upward force on a airplane wing is thrust?

Thrust is the forward motion of the airplane provided by the engines. Lift is the upward force on an airplanes wing.


How does thrust help an airplane?

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.


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.
