Perhaps coincidentally, most aeronautical engineers
refer to that force as "lift".

Upward force on a bird's wing?
It is called Lift. The difference in pressure above and below the wigs as a bird moves through the air produces an upward force that causes the bird to rise.
Is the upward force on a airplane wing is thrust?
Thrust is the forward motion of the airplane provided by the engines. Lift is the upward force on an airplanes wing.
What is the upward force due to a pressure difference between the top and bottom of a wing?
The upward force is called lift.
Is the upward force on a airplane wing a thrust?
No. We call the upward component of force "lift"."Thrust" is the component of force forward ... the direction the plane's nose points.
The upward force acting on the wing of an airplane in flight is called?
Lift.
What is the upward force due to fluid flow around an airplane wing?
Dont know maybe density force.
What is the upward force acting on the wing of an airplane in flight?
It's called "lift" and is the difference in air pressure between above and below the wing.
Is the wing being pushed upward or downward?
Upward
How do aeroplanes float?
Air moves faster over the top of a wing, and slower under the wing. The faster moving air above the wing has a lower pressure than the slower moving air below the wing. This causes lift, or the tendency for the wing and plane to move upward.
How does lift affect an aeroplane?
By making a LOT of assumptions I can simplify it to: the air passing over the top of the airfoil shape of the wing pushes a lot less than the air passing under the wing, which results in a net upward (one of those assumptions) force. By controlling many things like; the speed of the air passing the wing (or from the other perspective, our speed through the air), angle of attack of the wing, turbulence and many others we can control how much net upward force we want resulting in lifting the plane off the ground and direction.
What makes an airplane lift off the ground?
An airplane lifts off the ground because of the upward force created by the difference in pressure from the upper and lower part of the wing. The air travels faster over the top of the wing than the bottom of the wing because of the wing shape. This creates a low pressure on the top of the wing and high on the bottom. This can be explained better by understanding Bernoulli's Principal. The pressure difference causes and upward force on the wing which creates lift which allows the plane to lift off the ground.
What causes awing to lift?
The aerofoil shape of a wing is designed so that the speed of air flowing above the wing is faster than that below. This creates an upward force, called lift.
