How and why do drones fly? Drones fly because they fly, right? We have lift and thrust from propellers and magic happens.

It's not magic and everything can be explained using physics:
* thrust is a force
* drag is a force
* Gravity is an acceleration
* force equals mass times acceleration (thank you, Sir Isaac Newton)
* every action causes equal but opposite reaction

Let take a journey into a wonderful world of forces that act on our drones. I will try to keep it short and in layman's terms.
