drag


Explain drag and how it relates to flight.?

Drag is the force that resists an object moving through a fluid, such as air. In the context of flight, drag is the force that acts opposite to the aircraft's direction of motion and is caused by air resistance. Pilots and aircraft designers must consider drag as it affects the performance and efficiency of an aircraft in flight.

How do increce drag on an airplane?

By changing the aerodynamic properties of the fuselage or wings. If you can physically interrupt the flow of air across the body of the aircraft and make it less aerodynamic than you are able to create and increase the amount of drag in flight. The 2 most common ways to increase drag in a modern aircraft is to arm the spoilers (speed brakes) or lower landing gear.


Do planes use drag?

Drag is typically minimised where possible, as it has no purpose in making flight simpler, better or more efficient.
