The resistance caused by the aircraft moving through air
drag
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.
Drag- APEX :)
the four forces of flight are lift,drag,weight/gravity and thrust.I have no clue how to describe them.........i hope that helps!
Lift, weight, thrust and drag.
The four forces of flight during flight are lift gravity thrust and drag

The 4 forces of Flight are: Gravity,Drag Force,Lift and Thrust
Drag is a crucial concept in flight as it represents the resistance an aircraft encounters as it moves through the air. Understanding drag helps engineers design more efficient aircraft, allowing them to minimize fuel consumption and improve performance. By managing drag through aerodynamic shapes and surfaces, pilots can enhance stability and control during flight. Ultimately, minimizing drag is essential for achieving optimal lift-to-drag ratios, which are vital for safe and efficient air travel.
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.
Drag is typically minimised where possible, as it has no purpose in making flight simpler, better or more efficient.
