5. 4 Forces of Flight Lift- A force that pushes planes upward. As air passes over the wings lift is created.

6. Bernoulli Principle Daniel Bernoulli was born in Switzerland in the year 1700 and became one of the world’s leading mathematicians. His insight into the mechanics of the body, airflow and water flow, lead him to a discovery that changed the aviation industry forever.

7. Bernoulli Principle The shape of an airplane wing is such that air flowing over the top of the wing must travel faster than the air flowing under the wing, and so there is less pressure on the top than on the bottom, resulting in lift .

8. 4 Forces of Flight Thrust- A force that pushes a plane forward.

9. 4 Forces of Flight Drag- Resistance that slows a plane down.

10. 4 Forces of Flight Gravity- A force that pushes planes down to Earth.
