Is there more or less pressure under the wing of an airplane?
There is more pressure under the wing than is on top of the wing. This is what generates the lift for flight.
What force is created by high pressure under a wing and low pressure above a wing?
Lift
When an airplane is flying how does the air pressure above a wing compare with that below the wing?
In flight, the air pressure above the wing is less than that below it.
Why does the lift on an airplane wing increase as the speed of the airplane increases?
The pressure above the wing be Save comes less than the pressure below the wing.
How does air pressure cause wind?
Generally no, but the low pressure is not what makes wings fly either.
Does air move faster under the wing or above the wing?
above the wing moving faster above the wing causes a lower air pressure relative to below the wing. high pressure moves to low pressure causing lift.
How airplane flies?
differential in wind speed over the wings produces high pressure under the wing and low pressure on top of the wing.
How does an aircraft atcually get off the ground?
Simply more air pressure under the wing than over it.If you look at an aeroplane wing it has a flat underside and then a curved top. Imagine two bits of air, both are going at the same speed when they get to the wing one has to go over the top to get to the other side (the long way) the other goes underneath (the direct way). This means that more bits of air can go under the wing in any given time than over the top. The fact that more air can then go under increases the pressure under the wing so that the whole plane is experiencing a higher pressure underneath and takes off. This is known as the aerofoil effect.
Why is air pressure greater below the wing's surface?
It's not so much that the air pressure below a wing is greater as it is the pressure above it is less. The way a wing works, is the airfoil (shape of the wing) accelerates the air above the wing. Since the air is moving faster, it lowers the air pressure, resulting in a lower pressure above, and a higher(standard) pressure below, creating lift.
Why us air drag necessary for the flight of a aeroplane?
Because air drag and flow is what gives the wings lift. Air travels faster under the wing and slower over top the wing. This creates less pressure on the top of the wing providing 'lift'.
When compared with the air that travels under the planes wing the air that travels over the wing is?
The air that travels over the wing is travelling at a higher velocity and is at a lower pressure than the air travelling under the wing.
Which states Benoulli's principle?
Bernoulli's principle says that the pressure exerted by a moving fluid (liquid or gas) decreases as it's speed increases. An example of this is how an airplane flies. The shape of the wing forces the air moving over the top of the wing to go farther (and thus faster) than the air going under the wing. The slower air going under the wing exerts more pressure, pushing the wing (and thus the airplane) up.
