Drag is one of the four forces applicable to a flying aircraft: thrust, drag, lift and weight. Drag is the amount of resistance to forward motion caused by a solid body moving through a fluid (air is considered a fluid for the purpose of aerodynamics).
The easiest way to feel the effect of drag is to stick one's arm out a car window while it's moving. First do it palm-down (horizontal), and then palm-forward (vertical). The force, known as "drag", pushing the arm backward increases substantially when the palm is vertical. That force is the same effect that an aircraft in flight experiences due to the frontal area of its airframe forcing its way through the air.
The science of aerodynamics seeks to minimize the drag through streamlining and other design factors, since drag wastes fuel, but it is physically impossible to elimnate it.

What is a Khurra in waterproofing?
This is not a common term. Check the source to see if you mean something else.
What term describes the air resistance that slow down aircraft?
The term that describes the air resistance that slows down aircraft is drag. Drag is caused by the friction between the aircraft and the air it is moving through, leading to a decrease in speed and increased fuel consumption. Pilots must account for drag in their flight planning to ensure efficient and safe flying.
Which forces hinder flight?
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.

Name the 4 forces of flight?
The 4 forces of Flight are: Gravity,Drag Force,Lift and Thrust
Do planes use drag?
Drag is typically minimised where possible, as it has no purpose in making flight simpler, better or more efficient.
