Lift is an aerodynamic force that results from the air passing over the curvature of the wing. It causes a reaction. A high pressure on the bottom of the wing and a lower pressure on top of the wing. As a result, high pressure wants to go to low pressure and so the wind is lifted into the air. Drag is the force opposite to thrust. It is created by the airplane as it moves through the air. The faster the airplane, the more the drag.

Why drag increases as lift increase - for helis?

As lift increases for helicopters, the angle of attack of the rotor blades must also increase to generate more lift. This higher angle creates more drag due to increased air resistance and turbulence. Additionally, the higher lift forces can lead to increased induced drag, which is generated as a byproduct of producing lift.


How is drag used on an airplane?

Lift is equal to drag, so if the drag was 12000N (newtons) the lift would be 12000N. it is mainly used for slowing the aircraft down for decend.

What causes induced drag?

Induced drag is caused by the creation of lift on an aircraft's wings. As the aircraft generates lift, it creates vortices at the wingtips, which result in a rearward force component known as induced drag. This drag increases as the angle of attack or lift produced by the wings increases.
