:The four forces that affect the aircraft in the air are
Gravity-
Lifting-
drag-
momentum-
And gravity is the natural force that
attracts the plane to earth direction. Leverage push the plane to the
top against gravity. The drag force is normal force of the air, which goes against the aircraft
movement to forward. momentum is balanced with power of drag and
push the plane to forward. there are four major forces Control the aircraft

gravity is the natural force that
attracts the plane to the direction of the earth.
The lifting force is force which pushes the plane upward
against the force of gravity.This force is generated due to movement of the
plane's wing through the air. The drag force is the force of natural
resistance to the air to move the aircraft forward . the momentum is the force which opposed
to the power of drag, it causes the movement of the aircraft to
forward. momentum is generated by
plane' fans or jet engines
When
leverage of the plane equal to the force of gravity, and momentum equal to
force drag, the plane fly in
straight . When any changing of one of these four forces, the plane
begins to climb, or turn or change direction or change the
situation. his part of article
Discusses some of the ways in which
the four forces effect the plane. The following section discusses how
the pilot controls these forces
Lifting force generated by low air pressure over the wing
of the plane upper surface of the convex wing
low air pressure which
takes over the convex surface when the plane is moving forward. The high
pressure area is trying to always be moving in the direction of the low
pressure, so the area of high pressure below the wing rises in the
direction of the low pressure so the plane rises up to the air
The force of gravity and leverage. The force of gravity
trying to maintain the viability of the aircraft above the ground or
attracted towards the earth when flying in the air.And the force of gravity
at the Earth is equal to the weight of the aircraft. it is necessary for
the plane to take off and remain in
the air, to generate leverage to take
it up more than the force of gravity down
The lifting force is generated
due to changes in air pressure on the aerodynamic section of the wing as the
plane moved on the land of the runway
or in the air.
first attempts to fly
using the wings Failed, where it was not understood then that the convex top
surface of the aircraft wing is the main reason to generate power of
lift. After the discovery of this fact, people started making airplane
wings so that the upper surface slightly convex. And thus generated the
lift power needed, as the bird wing
When the aircraft is parked, the air pressure on the wing
from the top and bottom are equal, but when it moves forward, air begins to
flow over and down the wing , moving air passing over the upper surface of
the convex wing in the curved path increasing speed and less compress at the
ssame time the air is moving passing through the lower surface of the wing in
a straight line, it remains so consistent speed and
pressure. The high pressure area is trying to
always move in the direction of low-pressure area. Therefore, the air
below the wing tries to move up But the wing stops against it
.Therefore, instead of meeting the low-pressure area, the high pressure area
lifts the wing in the air. when the plane go faster, a greater leverage
generated by the wing. And increasing the speed of the plane during the
running on the runway, before take-off, generates an increasing wing
lift. In the end, when the pressure below the wing become more than the
weight of the plane, and the leverage is greater than the force of gravity,
the plane takes off
How to generate momentum
Drag force and momentum. Wing can only generate lift when it is moving forward through the air. To this plane, the engines are needed to generate the required necessary momentum to start moving forward . to increase momentum, the plane has to move faster than before. However, with increasing speed of the plane, increases the drag force.
To Resist this drag, the aircraft need for more momentum.
In jet engines, the momentum is generated by Rapid flow of
gases through the engine. The fans generate momentum for helicopters and
aircraft turbine reciprocating engines. the fans blades is Similar to
the plane's wing .when you rotate the fan, the air pressure drops before
it. Here the air of a higher pressure begins to move behind the blades
to the direction of low pressure in front of the fan blades and pushing the
plane forward. whenever the jet engine or fans rotation increased generated momentum increased at the same
time
To help increasing the momentum, engineers is seeking for designing the fuselage in a very
streamlined form as possible and also
designing a smooth plane surface and tight form, as designing of all
outer surface parts so that it can
find its way into the air easily and softness
:Changing height
when leverage Balance with the force of gravity, and
momentum with the power of drag the aircraft fly in a straight and
flat. To begin to land the plane the pilot must start to reduced engine
capacity "This is done for jet engines and helicopter engines" by
reducing the rotation speed of the engine to reduce the generated momentum
. With the low momentum, also leverage reduces to start the plane to
fall down. At the same time increase the drag force exerting downward
pressure on the speed of the aircraft and increases the rate of decline.
To rise, the commander of the aircraft has to increase the
capacity of the engines.And spin the propeller, or jet engine, more quickly
to generate greater momentum.With increasing momentum, the leverage increases
, the plane begins to climb.However, the rise of the lift force and drag ,
the aircraft need for more leverage. For the highest leverage, the pilot
increased the angle of attack, the angle between the chord line of the wing
of a fixed-wing aircraft and the vector representing the relative motion
between the aircraft and the atmosphere. some of control devices is used
to push the front of the plane to indicate a slightly higher, even wing makes
a positive angle with the flight path and increase the speed of air passing
over the upper surface of the wing to become a pressure less than the
pressure in lower side and moving high pressure area below the wing to the
area of low pressure above generating lift. But continuing to increase
the angle of attack eventually lead to turbulence above the surface of the
wing and increasing drag force and restores the balance of power, the four
pilot acting on the aircraft by increasing the engine capacity to generate
greater momentum
Changing direction
The pilot can rotate of the plane
by increasing the lift generated by the wing or the other. rotation to the left, for example, the
pilot uses the control devices that put the plane in a lateral tilt to the
left, ie, that the left wing drops
down from the right wing. The lifting force generated is always
perpendicular to the surface of the wing. When the wing is not parallel
to the horizontal surface of the Earth, the leverage is the other diagonal
with the surface of the earth. And increase the leverage on the right
wing when he drops the left wing, forcing the plane for rotation. The
pilot uses the rudder to maintain stable flight mode. he Does not depend
on the rudder to make a rotation, but the tendency of leverage when the wings
at an angle with the horizon line is sufficient, that is leading to the plane
of rotation.
When the plane begins to rotate, the leverage will be less
than the anti-gravity and the plane lose some height. To restore the
balance of four forces once again, the pilot can take one of two procedures,
namely:
1 - increase the angle of attack increases the lift generated on
the wings
2 - increase the capacity of the engines to increase the
leverage to greater. In sharp turn, the pilot increase the angle of
attack, and the ability of the engine at the same time, to prevent the plane
to loss more height
