The horizontal component of lift. The vertical component of lift. The four forces acting on an airplane in flight are lift, weight, thrust, and drag. lift, gravity, power, and friction. lift, weight, gravity, and thrust. remain the same regardless of gross weight.

Lift : The aerodynamic force generated due to airflow over the wings. Weight : The force gravity exerts on the aircraft. Thrust : The force generated by the engine that propels the aircraft forward. The aircraft’s deceleration reduces the airflow over the wings, which reduces lift. Why does this happen?
