What is the lift force in an aircraft?
The lift force is the force acting against the aircraft's weight. For straight and level flight, lift acts in the upward vertical direction and the weight of the aircraft acts in the downward vertical direction. For level flight, lift = weight.
What force pulls an aircraft toward the ground acts against the force of lift in level flight?
Gravity is the force that pulls an aircraft towards the ground, acting against the force of lift generated by the wings in level flight. Gravity pulls the aircraft downward, while lift generated by the wings counteracts this force to keep the aircraft aloft.
What is up-wash and down-wash in aerodynamics?
Upwash is the relative laminar airflow blowing fron underneth the wing which at the trailing edge moves upwords where as downwash is the laminar airflow blowing from the top of the wing moving downwards at the end of the trailing edge,,,,when they meet with each other ,it gives rise to vortices or eddis.
If an aircraft is flying horizontally then its weight must be balanced by what force?
Lift balances weight. Thrust balances drag.
What is ground effect and how does it work?
The result of the interference of the surface of the Earth with the airflow patterns about an airplane.
Is an airplane a form of gravitational?
All aircraft are affected by gravity; so is everything else. The aircraft are able to fly because the force of the lift generated by the airflow over the wings is balanced by the weight of the airplane.
How is lift generated on an aircraft?
Rate of air passing over the wings
What is the lift force in an aircraft?

What force pulls an aircraft toward the ground acts against the force of lift in level flight?
Gravity is the force that pulls an aircraft towards the ground, acting against the force of lift generated by the wings in level flight. Gravity pulls the aircraft downward, while lift generated by the wings counteracts this force to keep the aircraft aloft.
How can an engine stall in an aircraft?
when you hear "stalling an aircraft", that means that they are reducing the amount of airflow over the wings, until the plane cant fly anymore. to overcome this, you push the nose forwards again.
What are the forces of flight?
The four forces that act on an airplane in Flight are Lift (upward generated by the wings), weight (Down generated by gravity, Thrust (forward generated by the engines), and drag (essentially backward generated by the resistance of the aircraft to the atmosphere).
What are the four forces of flight?

What causes an airplane except a T-tail to pitch nose down when power is reduced and controls are not adjusted?
Less airflow going over the wings of the aircraft
What is up-wash and down-wash in aerodynamics?
Upwash is the relative laminar airflow blowing fron underneth the wing which at the trailing edge moves upwords where as downwash is the laminar airflow blowing from the top of the wing moving downwards at the end of the trailing edge,,,,when they meet with each other ,it gives rise to vortices or eddis.
What is an interesting fact about the airplanes?
Planes cannot fly backward, if airflow above the top of the wing surface is lower than below the wings surface the aircraft will stall,
How does air help an airplane?
in a conventional aircraft - eg Boeing 747 etc the wings require lift to be created. This in acheived by having a faster airflow over the top of the wing compared to underneath. Without this flow of air an aircraft wouldn't fly.
If an aircraft is flying horizontally then its weight must be balanced by what force?
Lift balances weight. Thrust balances drag.
