This document provides an overview of the dynamics of flight, including:
- What air is and how it behaves when heated or cooled
- How wings generate lift through faster-moving air on the top creating lower pressure
- Isaac Newton's three laws of motion and how they relate to the forces acting on a plane in flight
- The four main forces of flight: lift, drag, weight, and thrust
- The sound barrier and how shockwaves form as planes exceed the speed of sound
- The different regimes of flight speeds from seaplanes to hypersonic flight
