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.
What else can I help you with?
Atmospheric pressure on the top of a wing in flight is?
Low. High on the bottom low on the top creating lift. The faster the airflow the greater the pressure difference and the greater the lift.
Is there more or less pressure under the wing of an airplane?
There is more pressure under the wing than is on top of the wing. This is what generates the lift for flight.
How do airplanes stay in flight?
Planes stay in flight because of bernoulli's principle. When air passes over a airplanes wing. The air that goes on the top of the wing moves faster than the air the goes on the bottom. Thsi auses a low pressure system above the wing and a high pressure system beneath the wing. The high pressure below the wing pushes the airplane up allowing it to fly.
What is true about an airplane wing during flight?
In flight, a wing has lower pressure on top and higher pressure on bottom due to Bernoulli's principle which in turn "sucks" the airplane into the air. The air on top must travel a longer distance than the air on bottom in order to meet up again because of the shape of the wing therefore causing the effects of Bernoulli's principle.
How does and aircraft becomes airborne?
There is a lot of explanation: but these are the basics: An airplanes wing is in a special shape it is flat on bottom and Curved on top. When a plane picks up speed the air must get from in front of the wing to the back of the wing. ( there cannot be a vacume!) Because the wing is curved air on top of the wing has to travel faster than the air on the bottom. The laws of physics state that as velocity (speed) increases, pressure decreases. therefore the atmospheric pressure on the top of the wing decreases and the plane rises.
Why us air drag necessary for the flight of a aeroplane?
Because air drag and flow is what gives the wings lift. Air travels faster under the wing and slower over top the wing. This creates less pressure on the top of the wing providing 'lift'.
How does the shape of an airplane wing contribute to generating lift during flight?
The shape of an airplane wing, specifically its curved upper surface and flatter lower surface, creates a pressure difference that generates lift during flight. This pressure difference, known as Bernoulli's principle, causes air to move faster over the top of the wing, creating lower pressure and lifting the aircraft up.
Is there a greater or lesser air pressure on top of the wing when lift occurs?
There is lesser air pressure on top of the wing when lift occurs. This is due to the shape of the wing causing the air to move faster over the top surface, resulting in lower air pressure according to Bernoulli's principle.
Which is the upward force acting on the wing of an airplane in flight?
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.
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.
When an airplane is ascending is pressure greater above the wings or below the wings?
Faster-moving air across the top of the wing lowers the pressure there. For a plane to ascend, the pressure must be sufficiently lower on top of the wing, and it will be forced upward by the greater pressure below the wing.
What would happen to the air pressure if you took a barometer from a mountain top down into a mine shaft?
the atmospheric pressure on top of a moutain would be lower than the atmospheric pressure down in a mine shaft
