Welcome aboard the debut episode of Propeller Breeze! Today, we’re diving into the cornerstone of all flight training: the four fundamental forces that make flight possible—Thrust, Drag, Lift, and Weight.

Whether you're just starting ground school, coming back to the sim, or simply curious about what keeps an airplane airborne, this episode breaks it all down in a clear and engaging way. We explore how these forces interact, oppose each other, and affect every moment of flight—from takeoff to cruising straight and level.

You'll learn:

✈️ How thrust and drag work in constant opposition

🪂 Why lift and weight must balance in level flight

🔧 How aircraft design and load influence these forces

🎛️ And how pilots use power and controls to manage them all

By the end, you’ll have a solid grasp of the invisible tug-of-war happening every time a plane takes to the skies.
