What doesnt affect the amount of lift on an airplanes wing?
The best way to answer this question would be to say what does effect the lift of a wing. Pretty much the only things that effect the lift of a wing are the density of the air over the wing, the surface area of the wing, the speed of air over the wing and the angle of attack. Everything else has no effect on the amount of lift on a wing.
What is a loss of lift?
When a wing loses lift it "stalls".
How does the lift from an aeroplane's wing change as it passes through a cloud?
LIFT on a wing shaped body is partially dependent on the density of the Fluid that the wing is passing through. If the Cloud is DENSER than the Air surrounding it the Wing will experience more LIFT.
What is the purpose of wing flap on a wing?
To provide the lift necessary for flight.
Is there a greater or lesser air pressure on top of the wing when lift occurs?
There has to be lesser air pressure on the top of the wing to provide lift.
How much lift will a wing generate?
A wing will generate lift according to the following equation: L = ½ A C ρ v² A = wing area C = lift coefficient ρ = air density v = air speed The lift coefficient C is a function of Angle of Attack (AOA), which is the angle between the wing's chord line and the relative wind. The greater the angle, the greater the lift coefficient up until the critical AOA where the wing begins to stall and lose lift. The lift coefficient is also a function of wing aspect ratio and will be specific to a certain airfoil shape.
Why do large wings have more lift?
A wing will generate lift according to the following equation: L = ½ A C ρ v² A = wing area C = lift coefficient ρ = air density v = air speed From the equation you can see that the lift force is directly proportional to the wing area. Double the wing area and you double the lift, all else remaining equal.
What is wing loading of an aircraft?
Wing Loading is the details of the distribution of pressure on an aircraft wing. An aircraft flys by producing Lift by its wings. This lift force depends on the shape of the wing that produces high pressure on the bottom of the wing and low pressure on the top. The center of the lift is usually at the 1/4 chord or 25% of the width of the wing as measure from the leading edge. The Wing Loading can be designed to produce different Lift and ensure the aircraft will be easy to trim for level flight.
How do you get lift?
You get lift when the flow of air over the top of a wing or helicopter blade is less than the flow undr the wing, and it pushes it up
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 is the lift equation useful when you are designing a wing?
A wing will generate lift according to the following equation: L = ½ A C ρ v² A = wing area C = lift coefficient ρ = air density v = air speed From the equation you can see that the lift force is directly proportional to the wing area. Double the wing area and you double the lift, all else remaining equal. The lift force is also directly proportional to the lift coefficient, which is a function of the airfoil shape, angle of attack and wing aspect ratio. Lift is directly proportional the air density, so this tells you that an airplane flying at sea level can produce more lift than if flying at 18,000 feet. Lift is proportional to the square of velocity, meaning that if you fly twice as fast you will generate 4 times the lift, all else being equal.
When the flap at the rear of an airplane wing is in the downward position the curvature of the wing increases How will this help affect the amount of lift on the wing?
When the curvature of the wing increases, air moving across the top of the wing moves more rapidly. The increased difference in speed between the air above the wing and the air below the wing will help to cause an increased lift on the wing.
