What is Lift Force?

Lift is the force that directly opposes the weight of an airplane and holds the airplane in the air. Lift is a mechanical aerodynamic force produced by the motion of the airplane through the air. Because lift is a force, it is a vector quantity, having both a magnitude and a direction associated with it.

What is turning radius?

The turning diameter of a vehicle refers to the minimum diameter of available space required for that vehicle to make a circular turn. The term thus refers to a theoretical minimal circle in which for example an airplane, a ground vehicle or a watercraft can be turned around.
