Grade 6
Flight and Space
9. Flight
9.1 Forces of Flight, Lift, drag, thrust, gravity
Discover the Four Forces That Make Flight Possible
You will explore lift, drag, thrust, and gravity the four forces that control how every aircraft moves through the air.
What You'll Learn
You learn how four forces control every aircraft in flight.
You discover how airfoil wings use pressure differences to create lift.
You understand balanced forces keep aircraft at constant speed and altitude.
You explore how thrust overcomes drag to accelerate an aircraft forward.
What You'll Practice
1
You will identify which force acts in each flight direction.
2
You will analyze how balanced and unbalanced forces change aircraft motion.
3
You will apply Bernoulli's Principle to explain how wings generate lift.
Why This Matters
Understanding the four forces of flight gives you the scientific foundation to explain how aircraft, birds, and gliders move through the air and connects directly to real-world engineering and physics.
