What are the 4 forces of flight?

lift, weight, drag, thrust.

200

Draw a diagram of what happens when air is heated and the flying machine that uses this principle.

Teacher decides, principle is air expands when heated - molecules move faster and are less dense.

300

What happens to the plane if the forces of weight + drag are greater than lift + thrust. What happens if it is the opposite?

It descends. It ascends or climbs.

How do airplanes allow you to breathe air at high altitudes?

They are pressurized and provide air that has oxygen levels relative to sea level.

Draw a diagram of Bernoulli's principle for both an airplane and helicopter and explain what it does for the aircraft. Bonus - What property of air does this show

Teacher decides. Provides lift from having high pressure of air molecules to push up on the blades, wings or body of the plane. Bonus answer - air exerts pressure.
