Solution
The correct option is D P- Lift, Q- Thrust, R- Weight, S- Drag
> Lift is an aerodynamic force that acts perpendicular to the body of an aircraft which is created by all parts of the airplane especially wings as it moves through air and acts against weight. An airplane takes off from the ground when the lift becomes higher than weight.
> Thrust is the force that pushes the aircraft forward and is created by the engines. It acts parallel to the body of aircraft.
> Weight if the total weight of the aircraft including all passengers and cargo.
> Drag is an aerodynamic force that is similar to friction which is created when a solid passes through a fluid- which has a different velocity. It is also created by all parts of the aircraft and acts against the thrust parallel to the body.
