Think of sticking your hand out of a car window. The faster you go, the harder the air pushes your hand back
Speed and flaps.
Flaps would increase drag increasing your speed will increase it even more
Increase in motor size with a propeller change, reducing drag on the plane
Low! To minimize the drag which grow with the square of the speed.
Drag effects paper airplane just as it affects anything else that moves. It is either parasitic or induced on paper airplanes. Drag may reduce a paper airplanes speed and/or range.
When the thrust of an airplane exceeds drag, the aircraft will accelerate forward. This increase in speed allows the airplane to gain altitude, as the lift generated by the wings also increases with speed. If the thrust continues to be greater than drag, the airplane can climb and maintain a stable flight. However, if the thrust is not managed properly, it could lead to excessive speed or potential aerodynamic issues.
The maximum speed a airplane can go is a factor of it drag and trust. All planes have a Vne speed witch is the never exceed speed, which is were the amount of drag becomes so great that it will start to damage the aircraft. Many factors have play on this number, such as the camber of the wing, form drag, induced drag, and how strong the frame is. A C-173 Vne is 169, and a SR-22 can go muck 3 or 4. Maximum speed of a airplane is around 1000 km per hour
The airplane flues by using a fast amount of speed to push through the wind. There is also wind pushing back on it. This is called "Drag". If the speed is quick and strong enough, the plane will push through the drag and continue to fly.
In general (special exceptions may apply) increase speed = increase drag.
The amounts depend on the airplane's size, shape, speed, altitude, and angle of attack, among other things.
When thrust is greater than drag in an airplane, the aircraft accelerates forward. This occurs during takeoff or when the pilot increases engine power. As the speed increases, the airplane generates more lift until it reaches the necessary speed for flight. Ultimately, the surplus thrust allows the aircraft to climb or maintain a higher speed.
The airplane becomes more difficult to fly because there is more drag from air molecules
