Flight dynamics is the study of how forces and moments affect the motion and stability of an aircraft. Flight control is how aircraft are controlled. 

Flight dynamics and control involve:
Analyzing and manipulating the forces and moments acting on a flying vehicle
Feedback systems that regulate its stability and performance 

The principle of flight is made up of four fundamental forces: Lift, Weight, Drag, Thrust. 
These forces work together in a delicate balance to determine an aircraft's trajectory.
