Drag I don’t mean to be a drag at this point, but let’s talk about what holds the plane back. Drag opposes lift. It’s helpful to understand the two types of drag: parasite and induced drag. Induced drag, on the other hand, is the byproduct of lift. The more lift, the more induced drag. What a drag!
