The top is curved, so the wind moves faster on top. therefore, there is a lower pressure on top, and he plane is sucked upwards. this lift counters gravity/weight. The amount of curve also changes the lift, as does the amount of wing space.

What part of a plane is referred to an airfoil?
The shape of an airplane's wing is called the airfoil; this helps the plane to fly easily while in flight.
What is the purpose of an airfoil?
An airfoil is a 2-dimensional shape that defines when built and inserted in a moving fluid will create a "Lift". The airfoil or wing can be used to turn ships or make an airplane fly.
How do jet engines help planes fly?
the jet engines create thrust and when there is enough thrust or speed, the airplane takes off because of the airfoil shape of the wings which makes low pressure on the top of the wing and high pressure on the bottom.
How does an airoplane fly?
it has a shape on its wing called airfoil search it up it combined forces of thrust weight drag and lift must be equal.
What makes a boomerang fly?
A) the shape ; it's an airfoil in cross section and a bent wing in top view. B) when you throw it it MUST spin.
Can planes fly?
Of course, planes can fly.
What is the shape of a helicopters wings?
The helicopter main rotor blades have an airfoil shape like an airplanes wing. The entire blade can also be angled by the pilot,through the rotor head. This angle makes it fly or lift.
Similarities between airplane and bird?
It is the airfoil shape of wings that they have in common.
What the structure used in an airplane?
the structure is that its built in a such a shape that it can fly by maintaining a balance in the air ,as it counters the force of gravity by using either Buoyancyor by using the Lift_(force) of an Airfoil,
Can you fly direct to seychelles from London?
No, you stop and change planes in Abu Dhabi or Dubai
What skills planes can planes do?
it can fly
How does a plane fly with flat wings?
No matter its the same thing of an airfoil wing
