Lift We’ll start with my personal favorite — lift. Weight Now let’s talk about the flip side of lift — weight. To maintain level flight, we would need to have enough air flowing over the wings to match the amount of weight we’re lifting — the plane itself, fuel, passengers, baggage and, of course, that cup of coffee.

Workers are subject to overheating, and so is their ground equipment: all of those myriad tugs, tractors, carts and lifts that Airplanes themselves, meanwhile, have a lot of internal machinery, both electronic and mechanical, and much of it runs hot to begin with. Jet engines don’t like this low-density air either, producing less thrust.

The Four Forces of Flight (Lift, Thrust, Drag & Gravity) obey Newton’s Three Laws of Motion. irplane controls work per the Lever Principle, and a wing’s airfoil shape increases lift via the Bernouilli Principle and Coanda Effect. Like Moses and the Ten Commandments, aviation is limited by 10 laws of physics and chemistry.

This meant the airplane, if were to carry anything, had to be built from very light materials incapable of providing support for a wing long enough to generate the needed lift. The bi-wing design allows two shorter wings to be braced against one another with a series of struts and wires providing the strength and lifting surface required.

The prototype lifted off, hovered and flew at a speed of 40 knots before landing. The forward five-bladed propellers tilt in an angle range of 0° (straight ahead) to 100° (slightly past vertically upwards), allowing the aircraft to shift between vertical lift and forward propulsion.

As air flows over it, a force like lift results, and the tail is pulled in the opposite direction of the deflection. But instead of an upward force of lift on a wing, it’s a horizontal force pushing the tail of the plane causing the nose of the plane to move left and right. The pilot controls the throttle to create thrust.

This flight instrument measures the angle between an aircraft’s wing and the relative wind, providing a visual representation of how much lift the wings are generating at a given airspeed or angle of bank. An angle of attack (AOA) indicator can determine the aerodynamic health of the airfoil (wing).

This operation was carried out routinely with the little fighters launching from the airship, flying their mission, and then hooking up on a trapeze that lifted them inside the hull.

Lift : The aerodynamic force generated due to airflow over the wings. 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. When the lift force is less than the force of gravity, the aircraft descends.

More air molecules in engine cylinders allow the engine to produce more power; more air molecules moving across the propellor blades and wings means more efficient thrust and lift. As altitude increases, air molecules spread out, resulting in less power and lift. It was rewarding to see the aircraft perform exactly as expected.

Contrary to popular belief, airplane taxiing does not include the moments right before takeoff where the plane’s speed continues to accelerate until it lifts off the ground or touchdown as the plane slows to a halt after landing. The pilot maneuvers the plane with a 7% thrust paving the way for a 30-knot speed.
