      Sorry, one more. Would be grateful for the discussion.

      Drag opposes… in a vector format drag opposes thrust, not lift. Drag + Lift create a total reaction, and Lift induces drag, but they don’t oppose each other.

        Your statement is 100% correct, and that answer and response is incorrect. Drag always opposes the motion of the object and, in an aircraft, is overcome by thrust. Thank you for posting this 🙂
