Upward force that picks the aircraft up away from the ground.

What are the two things that affect the lifting force 

What opposes lift and acts downward through the center of gravity?

The force that propels our aircraft forward

What force apposes forward movement?

Types of drag:

When you stick your hand out of a moving car window, is this an example of what drag?

What type of drag is created as a direct result of lift?

Wind that goes around the shape of the aircraft. Determine what type of drag it is.

When different streams of air flow create little pockets of turbulence at different places on the aircraft

The drag caused by the surface of the aircraft is commonly referred to
