Any speed. If you want to know the speed for lift to be achieved, it depends on the wing and weight of the aircraft.

Did the Wright brothers invention work and why?

Their aircraft? Yep. It was a biplane, and it produced lift by moving air over an airfoil. The effect of an airfoil is described in part by the Bernoulli Principle.


How does an aeroplane create lift?

In an aircraft, the powerplant provides thrust. And this thrust, combined with the lift provided by the wing's design, air has to move more quickly over the top of the wing (AIRFOIL) than the air underneath the wing. Faster moving air has less pressure than slower moving air, Bernelle's Principal, so suction on the upper skin of the airfoil when it moves through the air (by thrust), creates lift.


What is fast moving air?

Wind


What front occurs when a fast-moving warm air mass overtakes a slower-moving cold air mass?

a WARM front occurs when a fast moving warm air mass overtakes a slower moving cold air mass.


What happens when a fast moving air mass overtakes a slower moving warm air mass?

A cold front is generally in the vicinity when a fast moving air mass overtakes a slower moving warm air mass. Violent or unstable weather is generally associated with this type of weather pattern.


What is a measure of how fast air molecule are moving?

anemometers


What determines if air mass contains warm or cold air?

How fast the air particles are moving


Will any shape work for an airfoil?

No. The air flow path across the top of the airfoil must be longer than the path below.


What makes hot air turn to cold air?

Heat is defined by how fast molecules are moving. Fast moving molecules will have a higher temperature than slow moving molecules. The kinetic energy of the hot air is transferred to the cold air, which means the cold air becomes a little warmer, and the hot air becomes cooler.


What is the particles in fast moving air?

Air particles: Nitrogen, Oxygen, Carbon dioxide, etc...


A air mass produces more severe weather?

fast moving
