The Role of Newton’s Third Law in Aviation

Pilot Institute

This principle is fundamental in generating lift, thrust, and maneuverability, allowing aircraft to fly. Thrust (how it moves forward). They are designed with a special shape called an airfoil, which encourages passing air to turn and deflect downward. Lets see what Newtons Third Law is, and why we need it to understand lift.
