Drag is typically minimised where possible, as it has no purpose in making flight simpler, better or more efficient.

Can helicopter drag be eliminated?

No aircraft can totally eliminate drag but the design and materials its made of can reduce the effect. That's why you see a high speed planes with a smooth skin they use flush rivets to smooth out the air flow across the surface.

What are the four forces of flight and why do they affect planes?

The four forces of flight are lift, weight (gravity), thrust, and drag. These forces affect planes by enabling the plane to generate lift to counteract gravity (weight), provide thrust for forward motion, and counteract drag to maintain speed and altitude during flight.


Why is th tip of the rocket made pointer?

The tip of a rocket is pointy to increase aerodynamics and reduces drag. For example, if a rocket had a flat end, it would create more drag and slow the rocket down. It's also the same for planes too.

How do planes fly with all their weight?

A combination of the thrust of the engines and the lift of the wings overcoming the drag of air resistance and the pull of gravity.
