The way an airplane wing (or helicopter rotor) works is by creating a pressure differential, or a difference in air pressure, between the top and bottom of the wing or blade. Nature abhors a vacuum, so a gas such as air will flow as quickly as needed to prevent one from forming.
Curving the top of the wing forces the air to travel a further distance in the same amount of time. As the plane moves forward and the air rushes over the wing, it has less chance to press downward, allowing the air flowing beneath the wing to press upward with enough force to lift the wing (and the entire aircraft with it).

How do you convert a differential pressure of 43 psi to absolute units?
Let's assume one of the inlet ports is at atmospheric pressure, Absolute pressure = atmospheric pressure + differential pressure = 14.7psi + 43psi = 57.7 psi
What is the pressure detector placed in a vessel to measure the level of a liquid?
DiFFERENTIAL PRESSURE LEVEL DETECTOR
Where does low pressured air move to?
Usually a low pressure area is where all the air moves to. A high pressure area is the one that will move- to try to balance the pressure differential.
How are pressure and heat involved in melting rock in the mantle?
It is involved in the Mantle because heat Is used for the temepeter and pressure is for how close the mantle is
What is unit of differential pressure?
Let me differentiate first between design pressure and mechanical design pressure. Design (or discharge) pressure is the pressure at the outlet of the pump, the pressure you've designed the pump to deliver. The mechanical design pressure is a value that the pump casing and downstream piping have to be able to withstand as a minimum*. I presume you mean design pressure as discharge pressure. In this case, differential pressure is the difference between the discharge pressure and the suction pressure (the pressure at the inlet of the pump**). * this is calculated taking into account that a pump would be working against a 'blocked discharge' or a closed valve in the outlet piping ** imagine a reservoir filled with liquid
What is the difference between normal pressure gauge and differential pressure gauge?
A pressure gauge indicates actual pressure and a differential pressure gauge indicates the difference in pressure.
Differential pressure switch of thermopac?
Yes, the differential pressure switches off the thermopac. Differential pressure switch shut off unit in case of abnormal thermic fluid flow condition.
How does differential heating affect pressure?
Differential heating creates high-and-low-pressure areas, creating wind.
How do you make a calibration for differential pressure?
Differential pressure is the difference between two pressures. So, P2-P1.
How does differential heating affect air pressure?
Differential heating creates high-and-low-pressure areas, creating wind.

What is atmospheric pressure on the top of a wing in flight?
That totally varies based on the angle of the wing and air speed of the wing. It will typically be considerably less then normal atmospheric pressure.More Information:The atmospheric pressure on a wing in flight is subject to many variables and is difficult to assess. It varies, mostly due to wing shape and angle, and air speed. The important thing is that the pressure on the bottom of the wing is greater than the pressure on the top. This pressure differential results from the shape and angle of the wing, and the air flow across it. However, regardless of how this pressure differential is generated, it is called lift, and it's what makes flight possible. For example, as an airplane moves down the runway for take-off, it generates more and more lift as its speed increases. When the lift is sufficient to overcome gravity and friction (drag), flight happens.
