Introduction

Time to meet Drag—the force that pushes back against flying things and tries to slow them down!

In this final part of our flight journey, we’ll learn how air pushes on airplanes and how smart designs help them glide smoothly and fly faster. 🛫✨

By understanding drag, engineers can create shapes that minimize resistance, allowing aircraft to cut through the air more efficiently. This innovative approach not only enhances speed but also improves fuel efficiency, making air travel more sustainable.
