The Four Forces of Flight
Instructor
What Will You Learn?
About This Course
In this course, you will delve into the physics of the four principal forces acting on an aircraft in flight.
You’ll examine how Lift is generated and sustained through the Center of Pressure, and how Weight—acting through the Center of Gravity—affects balance and control. You’ll analyze Thrust as the driving force for forward motion, and Drag as the natural resistance to that motion. With real-world examples and scenario-based discussions, you’ll learn how these forces change with speed, altitude, and aircraft configuration, and how to manipulate them to achieve optimal performance during various phases of flight.
