@Benny332D2003 No problem :)
@Benny332D2003 Anytime! If you need any more help, you know who to contact :)
@Benny332D2003
You're welcome :)

Yeah, thanks@bspboy
Thanks man@bjac0
@Benny332D2003 Anytime!
@bspboy Except I had more detail. Still, you had a good answer.
If you ever watch a bullet fired from a long range, it will slow after a while. Like when it is shot into water. Glad we could help. @Benny332D2003
@Benny332D2003 its also why you have to throw a peice of paper like a frisbee if you want it to get a bit further.
The drag is the wind resistance, so if you want a glider that doesn't slow down quickly, then you would make the frontal surface area small, btw the wings in SP don't have drag, so the best glider in simple planes would be made mostly of wings. That's how the air brakes work, they use air drag to slow you down, that's also why jet engines have to be on during flight.

No problem, but I'm just some 15 year old so my explain atoms may be a bit, ummm off

Wow, very good examples, thanks👍☺@Supercraft888
Lats also look at a parachute of a parachute, why does the parachute stop you from falling? Because that air resistance of the parachute is so great that the external force being applied to your motion (your motion being falling) is so great that it slows your fall, doesn't stop it, but slows it.
So I'm not exactly an expert on the topic but I'll try my best to explain
So Drag is the amount of air resistance your plane will receive when in flight, you essentially want to avoid this, take for example a Ford Flex and a Lamborghini advator, the lambo is much more aerodynamic due to the fact that it has more curves and shape to it, while the Ford Flex is a box, the air is pushing aginst the boxiness of the Ford flex while the air is flowing off the lambo, do you remember Newtons 3 laws of motion? In law one "Every object in a state of uniform motion tends to remain in that state of motion unless an external force is applied to it.". The plane with more drag has air as a force applied to it, making it slower...
In simple terms, keep the drag points low, have a good day!
More drag means your plane is less aerodynamic. Try making the Drag as low as possible (good for gliders) to increase your maximum speed.
By the way, if you want to ask something about the game, go to the Forums.
We said practically the same thing at the same time. XD @TheGuyWhoFliesToGetHisPie
How did you get to gold not knowing what drag is? It is one of the properties of flight. Lift counteracts gravity. Thrust counteracts drag. If there is more drag, then the plane will be slower. Hope that helps.
Drag is one of the 4 forces of flight. Drag is one of the 2 natural forces that act on an airplane, or anything that moves for that matter. Drag opposes thrust and slows the plane down. Drag is the effect of the air pushing on the plane as the plane moves through the air. I hope this helps.
It means to make something slower.
