Aerofoils are able to lift the plane by wind speed, and wind direction. Aerofoils can also lift the plane up by its shape when bent downward of an aeronautical wing shape. - Aerospace engineering

Why do wings keep a plane in the air?

As the plane flies through the air, the upper surface of the wing, or aerofoil, is so curved that it creates higher air speed and lower pressure. In other words this lower pressure gives an upwars"lift" to the aerofoil, wheras the air rushing under the aerofoil creates higher air pressure giving an upward "push" to the aerofoil. So both surfaces create upward forces.


What is the difference between a helicopter creating lift and anairplane creating lift?

the difference between an helicopter creating lift and an airplane creating lift is simple. an airplane creates lift by moving forward and its wing that has an aerofoil shaped will create lift. this gives the lift for the airplane and to fly. for helicopters, instead of the aerofoil is fix like an airplane, the aerofoil wing is rotating and create lift. that is why the helicopter does not need to move forward to gain momentum to create lift. by rotating the aerofoil (the blade) the helicopter can creates enough lift to lift up the helicopter.and that's how it fly..


What is air Foil technology?

An airfoil or aerofoil is the shape of a wing or blade (of a propeller, rotor or turbine) or sail as seen in cross-section. It is used on the wings of a plane to create lift.

What causes awing to lift?

The aerofoil shape of a wing is designed so that the speed of air flowing above the wing is faster than that below. This creates an upward force, called lift.


What is the force the keeps the plane in the air?

The four forces of flight are : Lift, Thrust, Drag, and Gravity. The answer to your question is Lift.


How does the principle of lift contribute to what keeps a plane in the air?

The principle of lift is what allows a plane to stay in the air. When air flows over the wings of the plane, it creates a force called lift that pushes the plane upward. This force counteracts the force of gravity, keeping the plane airborne.
