Generates more lifting force
When the wing is straight it creates more 'lift' . When swept it allows more speed.
The lifting force of an airplane's wing counteracts the weight of the aircraft, allowing it to ascend and maintain altitude during flight. This lift is generated primarily due to the wing's shape, which creates a difference in air pressure above and below the wing as air flows around it. The wing's design, including its angle of attack, plays a crucial role in maximizing lift for safe and efficient flight. Ultimately, this force is essential for takeoff, cruising, and landing.
Thrust is the forward motion of the airplane provided by the engines. Lift is the upward force on an airplanes wing.
The force that pushes an airplane wing up is called lift. Lift is generated by the difference in air pressure above and below the wing, created by the wing's shape and angle of attack. This force allows the airplane to overcome gravity and stay airborne.
The upward force acting on the wing of an airplane in flight is called lift. It is generated due to the difference in air pressure between the top and bottom surfaces of the wing caused by the shape of the wing and its angle of attack. This lift force allows the airplane to overcome gravity and stay aloft.
The upward force acting on the wing of an airplane is called lift. It is generated by the flow of air over the wing, due to the difference in air pressure between the upper and lower surfaces of the wing. This lift force is what enables the airplane to overcome gravity and stay in the air.
The upward force acting on the wing of an airplane in flight is called lift. It is generated by the flow of air over the wing due to differences in air pressure created by the wing's shape and angle of attack.
No, the upward force on an airplane wing is not thrust. It is actually lift, which is generated due to the pressure difference between the top and bottom surfaces of the wing as the air flows over it. Thrust is the forward force that propels the airplane through the air.
Bernoulli's equations explain 100% of the lifting force created by wings. But Newton's third law also explains 100% of the lifting force. This should not be suprising, since Bernoulli's equations are based on Newton's laws. Bernoulli and Newton are two different ways of explaining a complicated situation. Neither is more "right" than the other. If we choose one explanation while ignoring the other, then our understanding of flight will be incomplete. To be clearer... Bernoulli's equation describes the lifting force in terms of pressures applied to the wing surface. There are no other forces involved. If we know the pattern of pressures, then we know the lifting force. Yet the explanation of flight remains incomplete. Wings feel pressure because they change the motion of the surrounding "parcels" of air, and air has mass. If a wing applies a force which causes air to accelerate downwards, then by Newton's 2nd and 3rd laws, the wing must experience an equal upwards lifting force. If we know the acceleration of the air surrounding the wing, then we know the lifting force.
