Lift, weight, thrust and drag.
Lift equals weight and thrust equals drag.
There are four forces that act on an airplane that keeps it at a level altitude. Thrust, drag, weight, and lift determine whether a pilot flies at a level altitude.
The four forces acting on an airplane in flight are lift, weight (or gravity), thrust, and drag. Lift is generated by the wings and opposes the force of gravity. Thrust is produced by the engines and overcomes the force of drag, which is caused by air resistance.
Thrust from the helicopter's rotor blades generates lift, which enables the helicopter to overcome gravity and stay airborne. Drag acts as a resistance opposing the helicopter's forward movement, requiring additional thrust to maintain speed. Gravity affects the helicopter by constantly pulling it downward, necessitating continuous lift to counteract and remain in the air.
Lift is opposite of weight Thrust is opposite drag. When lift >weight plane climbs. If lift < weight you best find a place to land. If thrust> drag you accelerate. If drag>thrust you slow down. High and fast are your friends. Low and slow are out to kill you.
Well, there obviously gravity and lift. But there are two more. They are drag and thrust. Gravity operates all the time. Then you give thrust to the aircraft, to create lift, and drag will automatically operate. Gravity pulls you down, lift pushes you up, drag slows you down and thrust accelerates you. Gravity and drag are both bad for launch. Lift and thrust are absolutely essential for launch. So there you have it. Gravity, Lift, Thrust, Drag
