How does an airplane wing produce lift?

Answer 1

I bet you your friends have told you about airfoil. If you don't understand, the wing is curved. Not severely, just shaped lik a semcircle (sorry my spellins getttting messy). The wing is forced in between the moving air, and air rushes above and below the wing. Since the distance from the starting point to the finish point(the other side of the wing) going over the top part is longer than taking the bottom, hence, the bottom has lower pressure (traveling slower) and the top has high pressure (air moving fast). Like a date, the boy and girl start out from a place. They go to another place, but drive different cars and take different routes. The boy goes southeast, and the girl goes south. The girl (has more patience) and drove straight through traffic. The boy being less patient, drove arround the highway and avoidded traffic. They still ended up at the same place, at the same time. So the lower pressure keeps the plane up.

Answer 2

Airplane wings, generally, are flat on bottom and curved on top. The reasoning to this is because the wing is curved on top, the air flowing over the wing is forced to move faster than the air flowing under the wing. This causes a lower air pressure above the wing, than the pressure beneath it casing the wing to be pushed to the lower pressure, lifting the wing.

Answer 3

Lift is provided by the difference in curvature of the wing, providing different velocity on upper and lower surface of wing. The upper wing has higher air speed and thus lower pressure. The lower wing has higher pressure thus lift.

Answer 4

All of the wing provides lift due to its shape.

The flaps of the wings are adjustable and changes the profile of the wing giving added lift at slower speeds, such as take off and landing.
