What term creates the lift that allows gliders to fly?
unequal pressure
What creates the lift that allows gliders to fly?
Unequal Pressure The aircraft's wing is shaped so that the air passing over the wing moves faster than the air under the wing causing a positive pressure differential, thus creating lift. In simpler terms, it is the air moving above the wing, not below the wing, that causes lift.
How do aeroplanes fly even though there airfoils cant flap like birds wings?
The different air pressure above and below the wings creates lift and allows the 'plane to fly given enough forward motion.The different air pressure above and below the wings creates lift and allows the 'plane to fly given enough forward motion.
What does airplane swing contribute to the lifting force force on an airplane?
When the wing is straight it creates more 'lift' . When swept it allows more speed.
The main rotor on a helicopter creates what?
the main rotor creates lift.
How does an airplane achieve lift?
The speed of air over and under the wings creates pressure which is lift.
How do planes glide?
The same way it flies... Gliders are lighter and they use Bernoulli's principle for lift. and once they get speed they can keep flying... they also use updrafts from the ground to get lift
Does a glider have an airfoil?
Yes, gliders have an airfoil very similar to that of a powered airplane. Gliders do generally have a wider wingspan in order to handle better at low-airspeed & therefore take better advantage of thermals or ridge-lift.
How does F-15 achieve lift?
A very basic explanation is that the air being split by the wing creates lift.
Which muscle allows you to lift a book?
biceps
Why drag increases as lift increase - for helis?
The production of lift creates induced drag. To create more lift, more airspeed is needed, and with airspeed, comes drag.
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..
