ORIGINAL: iflircaircraft

correct me if I'm wrong but without Gravity there would be no drag or lift!! unless induced
iflircaircraft,

Lift and drag are independent of gravity. In the absence of gravity, an airplane could still fly tight turns (loops). The force responsible would be lift. For a given thrust, the aircraft would still achieve a finite velocity, at which the thrust would be equaled by the drag.
