The four forces acting on an airplane in flight are lift, weight, thrust, and drag. lift, weight, gravity, and thrust. The angle of attack at which an airplane wing stalls will change with an increase in gross weight. remain the same regardless of gross weight.

Weight : The force gravity exerts on the aircraft. Thrust : The force generated by the engine that propels the aircraft forward. Drag : The aerodynamic force opposing the aircraft’s forward motion. This increases lift but comes at the cost of increased induced drag. Gradually reduce thrust from cruise power.
