 Understanding what makes a plane fly requires studying what forces act on a plane in flight. The theory of flight is explained by the forces of drag, lift, thrust and gravity and how the airplane is affected by them. The links below explain briefly the science of why a plane flies. This is not meant to be a fully scientific or flawless depiction of the principals involved. It is meant merely to help the modeler understand the forces acting on the model plane and to assist in building a better plane after these forces are understood. Daniel Bernoulli's theory briefly discussed. Model aviation is easier if the basic theory of flight is understood and the parts of the aircraft which make flight possible. The same theory of flight which applies to big aircraft applies to model aircraft. Aviation Terms are words and terms used in aviation science to refer to airplane parts, forces which act on an airplane and other words.
