  1. What are the 4 forces in flight?


    1. Acceleration, Inertia, Mass, Lift.

    2. Thrust, Drag, Lift, Weight

    3. Push, Pull, Lift, Mass

    4. Thrust, Resistance, Lift, Mass b


  1. L

    b) Lift


    abel the forces



a) Thrust

c) Drag

d) Weight




  1. Which of the answers below is true?


  1. For aircraft to accelerate, THRUST = DRAG

  2. To be able to take off / go airborne / pitch up, LIFT < WEIGHT

  3. LIFT Opposes THRUST and acts the opposite direction of THRUST.

  4. Weight distribution in aircraft is not constant d


  1. Which part of the aircraft produce the lifting force necessary for the aircraft to take off?


    1. Engines

    2. Elevators

    3. Wings

    4. Body c


  1. The engine produces


    1. Lift

    2. Drag

    3. Weight

    4. Thrust d
