A plane is entering a turn, identify the main forces acting on it (including central forces)

The student will draw a picture of a plane with an arrow for weight acting downwards, an arrow for lift acting normal to the wings upwards and an arrow inwards for the central force that a rotating object has. The student may also consider drag and thrust acting opposed to each other.
