This is achieved by further maximizing lift and reducing drag during the take-off and initial climb segments, a spokesperson for Airbus said. At other, even more runway-restricted airports, the net gain could be as much as seven tons without increasing the engines thrust, added the spokesperson.

The exhaust coming out of aircraft engines looks pretty dangerous, generating huge amounts of thrust and pushing back tons of hot air. This horizontal component of lift is called Induced Drag. Its called induced drag since it only exists as a consequence of lift. If youre generating lift, youre stuck with induced drag as well.

A poster on PPRuNe asked about the landing conditions: Is it pretty much standard for operators of this particular aircraft type in the UK to land in 35 knot crosswinds on 1800m wet runways? The autobrake engaged, reverse thrust was deployed and they began to decelerate. avoided the wheel brakes and cancelled the reverse thrust.

Understanding the Basics of Flight Aerodynamics 101 Flying a small plane revolves around understanding four key forces: lift, thrust, drag, and weight. Thrust, produced by the engine, propels the plane forward, overcoming drag, which is the resistance caused by air.

Understanding the Basics of Flight Principles of Flight: Lift, Weight, Thrust, and Drag Flying a plane for the first time requires a basic understanding of the forces that make flight possible. Thrust, produced by the engines, moves the plane forward, while drag, or air resistance, slows it down.

Those struts and wires create a lot of parasite drag, an anathema for aircraft whose design and mission is speed. Short field landings can be shorter because the drag robbing ground effect is lessened by the greater distance between the wing and ground. The bi-wing design has one serious flaw.

As the airplane is rolling down the runway, air is passing over and under the wings. Among other critical problems, this can lead to the airplane not being able to take off or land with the amount of runway available. Thrust Thrust is our forward motion. Drag opposes lift. The more lift, the more induced drag.
