In flight, a wing has lower pressure on top and higher pressure on bottom due to Bernoulli's principle which in turn "sucks" the airplane into the air. The air on top must travel a longer distance than the air on bottom in order to meet up again because of the shape of the wing therefore causing the effects of Bernoulli's principle.
What else can I help you with?
Why are airplanes called airplanes?
The wings of an airplane are near-flat surfaces that plane the air.
Why do the airplanes have wings in the back?
To provide more balance for the back of the airplane
Why do paper airplanes fly?
Paper airplanes fly due to the principles of aerodynamics. When a paper airplane is thrown, the shape of its wings and the angle at which it is thrown create lift, which allows the airplane to stay in the air and glide. The force of gravity pulling the airplane down is counteracted by the lift generated by the wings, allowing the airplane to fly.
How are some bird wings like an airplanes wings?
Some bird wings are like airplanes wings because the air goes over and under it like a airplane soaring through the sky!
Does an airplane have characteristics of life?
Yes airplane have the characteristics of life. The have wings like birds.
How do paper airplanes work and what factors affect their flight performance?
Paper airplanes work by utilizing the principles of aerodynamics. When thrown, the wings of the paper airplane create lift, which allows it to stay in the air. Factors that affect a paper airplane's flight performance include the design of the airplane, the weight distribution, the shape of the wings, and the force of the throw.
What do flaps help an airplane do?
An airplanes having the flaps in wings as it helps the plane to give or to produce a additional lift.
Can airplane fly without an air?
No. Airplanes need the flow of air over the wings in order to produce lift.
Do airplanes with bigger wings fly farther than airplanes with smaller wings?
Not necessarily. Wing size is just one factor that affects an airplane's range. Other factors, such as fuel capacity, engine efficiency, and weight, also play a significant role in determining how far an airplane can fly.
Does the shape of the wings on a airplane change how it flies?
Totally, if the wings on an airplane are made incorrectly than the airplane will fall and go Boom. If the wings are made correctly or in a different shape than the techniques of flying will change the way airplanes fly. Try testing different shapes of wings with a paper airplane. See what kinds of wings make the plane go Splat or go Woosh through the air. Also, look at birds. They are the main models of different types of wings for airplane designers. :0)
Can a airplane fly without wings?
No, airplanes need wings for lift. - Now having said that, aircraft can fly without wings, as they include helicopters, dirigibles and balloons which have alternate ways of gaining lift.
Why are airplanes streamlined with rounded instead of square wings and bodies?
if they were square it would be like friction and the airplane wouldn't be able to move
