A force created by the engines that pushes an aircraft through the air.

the process of using the thrust of the engines to accelerate an airplane down a runway until enough lift is generated so that the aircraft begins to fly.

another word for a horizontal stabilizer

a wing that is slanted toward the rear of the airplane.
