A rocket achieves lift by pushing back the air column
The production of lift creates induced drag. To create more lift, more airspeed is needed, and with airspeed, comes drag.
In aircraft aerodynamics, the lift-to-drag ratio, or L/D ratio, is the amount of lift generated by an aerofoil, divided by the drag it creates by moving through the air. A higher or more favourable L/D ratio is typically one of the major goals in aircraft design; since a particular aircraft's required lift is set by its weight, delivering that lift with lower drag leads directly to better fuel economy, climb performance, and glide ratio.
Lift, thrust, drag, and gravity affects all flying objects and wildlife. The blades of the helicopter provide lift, drag and thrust.
Drag
There are four forces acting upon a rocket these are: Thrust, Gravity, Drag and Lift.
Lift, drag, thrust, and gravity.
To produce lift with the least amount of induced drag.
Alright, it is mainly the force of gravity. This is because if there was no gravity, you do not heat energy to fire the rocket up.
