Force
A force that opposes the motion of objects moving through air.

Engines that push or pull the plane forward are know as?
Thrust
As the plane moves forward, air moves around the wings and creates a force that raises the plane into the air is called?
Lift
The ability to perform work or change an object.
Energy

Potential Energy
The use of force to move an object a certain distance or change an object.
