Drag: air resistance that slows and object down. Drag is an opposing force of motion.
Gravity: a force that pulls objects together, and the reason things on Earth fall down instead of up.
Weight: (the gravitational force) the force of gravity pulling an object down.
Lift: the force that pushes object upwards.
Aerodynamics: the way air moves around things. Aerodynamic design can either speed up or slow down the speed of air moving around an object.
Thrust: the force that moves an aircraft through the air. Thrust is used to overcome drag and is often generated by engines.
Airfoil: the shape of a wing that helps generate lift.
Do you know The Amazonian Princess? She has a rockin’ red and blue costume. She blocks bullets with her indestructible bracelets. She holds The Lasso of Truth. She was introduced in 1941 in All Star Comics #8. She flies an Invisible Jet. She’s very strong and wonderfully smart. She’s a symbol of strength for women all over the world. She’s… Wonder
