(If you’re having trouble with vectors, see the accompanying sidebar atthe bottom of page B3.)  \nHere’s what you’ve been waiting for: The upward push of the road on the car (arrow A) is equal to the car’s weight on the road (arrow C) . In other words, lift still equals weight, even in a climb. Part of the weight, however, now acts like drag (arrow D), which really is a drag, because it gets added to the wind resistance. As we’ve already learned, thrust is the force that overcomes drag.  \nThe forces acting on an airplane during a climb are similar to those of the car (Figure 5), the only major difference being that you (the pilot) choose the slope of the hill you climb. This is done using the elevator control in the cockpit (more on the elevator control later) .  \nAs you can see, it’s excess thrust, not lift, that allows an airplane to climb. Given this very important bit of knowledge, you’ll now understand why smaller airplanes with limited power can’t climb at steep angles like the Blue Angels do at airshows.  \nLet’s go back to the automobile and climb a steep hill (Figure 6) .
