The term 'angle of attack' is defined as the angle between the airplane's longitudinal axis and that of the air striking the airfoil. 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. Centrifugal force.

Key Takeaways Ailerons control the aircrafts roll by adjusting lift on each wing. Roll or bank is the aircrafts movement about its longitudinal axis. Since theyre located on opposing sides of the longitudinal axis, both ailerons need to move in the opposite directions to complement each others motion.

Lift is the force that aircraft use to counter gravity. Newton’s Third Law is one of the key laws of physics that explains lift. Lets see what Newtons Third Law is, and why we need it to understand lift. This principle is fundamental in generating lift, thrust, and maneuverability, allowing aircraft to fly.

According to the Aviation Safety Database, the aircraft touched down with a recorded vertical acceleration of 2.47g with the longitudinal axis of the aircraft not aligned with the runway track. Inflight icing was heavily suspected as the cause of the accident, causing a loss of lift and a stall-induced spin.
