Hey Mistclank, ever wonder how a plane’s wing shape turns a gust of wind into a straight‑line sprint? Let’s crack the math that makes a flight a thrill‑ride and see if we can map out a route that feels like a puzzle for your brain.

Nice poetic way to think about it. If you line up the lift and drag exactly, you’re at the angle of zero degrees to the airflow – the line where lift comes from the wings and drag is the least. In practice that’s the “trim” or minimum‑drag angle, so the plane just flies straight and smooth. Try finding that sweet spot on a flight computer or an anemometer, and you’ll feel the plane march on.
