The Atlas V rocket with its heaviest ever payload onboard lifted off on April 28, 2025, at 19:01 EDT from Space Launch Complex-41 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station. To accommodate the huge payload, ULA flew its Atlas V rocket in its most powerful configuration with five solid rocket boosters needed in addition to its main one.

This is achieved by further maximizing lift and reducing drag during the take-off and initial climb segments, a spokesperson for Airbus said. At other, even more runway-restricted airports, the net gain could be as much as seven tons without increasing the engines thrust, added the spokesperson.

Yet, improvements in vertical-lift technology are still coming fast. For VIP and executive transport, parapublic, EMS, SAR, and energy services, it will carry 9 pax, up to 6000-lb payload, 1000 nm at 270 kt cruise. AutoFlights Prosperity and CarryAll variants all carry 13 propellers 10 for lift and 3 pushers.

Horizon Aircraft During the take-off and landing phases of flight, the wing surfaces can transform from a smooth horizontal flying surface into a stabilizer, housing 14 fans that provide the lift for vertical flight – five embedded on either side of the main wing, plus a further two mounted either side within the forward canard wings.

Equipped with a thrust-to-weight ratio that enhanced its agility, the F-4 Phantom II could effectively engage enemy aircraft in air-to-air combat. The aircraft has a maximum takeoff weight exceeding 60,000 pounds (27,000 kg), allowing it to carry a significant payload of munitions and fuel.

Lift is the force that aircraft use to counter gravity. Newton’s Third Law is one of the key laws of physics that explains lift. Lets see what Newtons Third Law is, and why we need it to understand lift. This principle is fundamental in generating lift, thrust, and maneuverability, allowing aircraft to fly.
