Thrust Thrust is our forward motion. In a commercial airliner, the jet engines are creating the thrust required for the heavy plane to move forward. In your car, the engine under the hood is creating thrust for you to move forward, but you stay on the ground because you don’t have wings! Drag opposes lift.

The Challenger 350 has innovative cantlet wings that minimize drag alongside powerful engines that deliver immense thrust. This jet also utilizes sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) — a new type of fuel that offers numerous environmental advantages. Sustainability is also a consideration at the end of an aircraft’s lifecycle.

Below are other critical pieces of the wings that help give the plane additional lift, reduce drag, or achieve lower speeds in preparation for landing: Ailerons: A French word meaning “fin” or “little wing,” the aileron helps control the airplane’s roll. The engine creates thrust by burning fuel.

With ECM pods beeping and squeaking, our semi-spread formation of four jets created an indistinct blob of noise on enemy radars. It felt like we were dragging an 18-wheeler truck! Functioning exactly as designed, those flat-plate boards sticking into the airstream were creating beaucoup drag, battling against the J-79s’ thrust.

Although the company built and flew two examples, the military quickly lost interest in piston engines, and Douglas pivoted, ultimately reworking the XB-42 into the jet-powered XB-43. While more airflow could be ducted onto the engines easily enough, this would come at the expense of significant drag.
