Air resistance to the forward motion of an airplane is commonly known as drag. This force acts in the opposite direction to the motion of the aircraft and must be overcome by the engines to maintain speed and altitude. Streamlining the aircraft's design helps reduce drag and improve fuel efficiency.
What else can I help you with?
Which force on an airplane can also be called a resistance force?
Gravity is the main resistance force on any aircraft. Wind resistance would be second.
Which force acts against the motion of an airplane as it flies through the air?
Drag is the force that acts against the motion of an airplane as it flies through the air. It is caused by the resistance of the air to the forward motion of the airplane, and it slows the airplane down. Pilots must account for drag to maintain optimal speed and efficiency during flight.
How does the drag affect the forward motion of the airplane?
Drag is a force that acts in the opposite direction of the airplane's motion, creating resistance and slowing down the aircraft. This requires the engines to work harder to maintain forward motion, resulting in increased fuel consumption and reduced speed. Pilots and aircraft designers must account for drag to optimize performance and efficiency during flight.
Rockets are launched from an airplane in the forward direction of motion The kinetic energy of the airplane will be?
increased because the rocket is adding additional kinetic energy to the system with its forward motion. The airplane will have to work harder to maintain its speed due to the added energy from the rocket.
The Force of an airplane that opposes thrust is called?
The force of an airplane that opposes thrust is called drag. Drag is the resistance force that acts opposite to the direction of motion of the aircraft and is caused by the interaction of the aircraft with the surrounding air.

How physics affects flying?
gravity holds you down wings + forward motion = lift thrust = forward motion air resistance = resistance to forward motion thin air at altitude is easier and cheaper to get through

Why paper airplane fly?
The forward motion (when you throw it) and the design of the craft - creates lift under the wing. As the forward motion slows, the aircraft falls to the ground.
How are lift and thrust use in airplane?
Thrust is used to make it roll forward. This forward motion causes lift at the wings.
What is the resistance to motion?
resistance to motion is called inertia
What is the force that pulls an airplane back?
the answer to this question is pull it is the opposite to push.push is the force that makes it go forward and pull is the force to bring you back...go liverpuddlians:):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):)
Do swim costumes reduce resistance and drag in the water?
resistance created by a fluid to forward motion. The resistance met by a swimmer in their forward progress caused by the water is passive drag;
What are two forces that resist the forward motion of a bus?
Two forces that resist the forward motion of a bus are air resistance (drag) acting in the opposite direction of movement and friction between the tires and the road surface.
