The Role of Newton’s Third Law in Aviation

Pilot Institute

Developments in aircraft design and engine technology have allowed us to fly farther, faster, and carry more payload. Application of Newton’s Third Law in Aviation When we talk about airplanes, we focus primarily on two forces: Lift (how the aircraft stays aloft). They allow roll control about the aircrafts longitudinal axis.
