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.
Lift keeps an aircraft up, thrust pushes it forward.
The 4 forces that let a airplane fly are Lift, Gravity, Thrust, and Drag.
Thrust, lift, gravity, and drag
Thrust and Lift. Gravity and drag make planes more difficult to fly.
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.
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.
It is thrust, lift, drag and weightthat affect an aircraft's ability to fly. It is thrust that moves the aircraft forward through the air. The thrust overcomes drag and provides (with the wings) lift to overcome weight.
Lift and thrust is what enables an airplane to maintain flight. Lift is generated by the wings, and thrust is generated by the engine or propeller. Combined they enable the aircraft to fly. Air currents and up-drafts, on an aircraft that does not have an engine (like a glider), also help generate lift and thrust to keep such an aircraft in the air. However, gliders get into the air by being towed by an airplane, or by a sort of sling-shot.
The thrust is an airplane is provided by the engines.
The wind pushes the airplane helping it to stay in the air and fly.
the jet engines create thrust and when there is enough thrust or speed, the airplane takes off because of the airfoil shape of the wings which makes low pressure on the top of the wing and high pressure on the bottom.
An object can fly when the forces of lift and thrust are greater than the forces of weight and drag. Lift is generated by the shape of the object (such as wings on an airplane) and thrust is the force that propels the object forward.
