Presentation on theme: "Balance of Forces Hover Lift is equal to weight"— Presentation transcript:

1 Balance of Forces Hover Lift is equal to weight
During un-accelerated flight, all opposing forces are equal in magnitude and in opposite directions Hover Lift is equal to weight Thrust is equal to drag

2 Balance of Forces in Forward Flight
Thrust is greater than drag Lift and weight remain balanced and constant

3 Ascending/Descending Flight
W T D Balance of Forces in Ascending/Descending Flight Climb Lift is greater than Weight. Thrust and Drag remain equal and constant Descent Lift is less than Weight while Thrust and Drag remain constant L W T D
