What is a wing top or flame spreader and how is it used?

A wing top is an accessory that can be used with a Bunsen burner to provide a broad flat fan flame, similar to that of a fishtail burner. It is often used to bend glass as it spread out the heat over a larger area, making it more uniform.See the Web Links to the left for a picture.

How is thrust used to create lift?

When the aircraft move forward the air moving over the top of the wing curves slightly across the top of the wing this cause a vacuum between the wing surface and the air passing over it. The effect is to pull the wing (and therefore the aircraft) upward thus lifting it off the ground


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.


What causes lift on an airplane wing?

The air on top of the wing is at a lower pressure than the air at the bottom of the wing so wing is pulled upwards


Why do boomerangs fly?

When thrown the top wing of the spin moves in the same direction ,while the wing on the bottom of the spin moves in the opposite direction of the throw. The wing on top is spinning at the same speed as the bottom wing. More air passes under the top wing which lifts the boomerang. The boomerang travels in a circle returning back to the thrower.


Why is the surface on the top of an airplane wing curved?

The top surface of an airplane wing is curved to create lift. Because of the curve, air has to travel farther across the top of the wing than across the bottom; this creates a low-pressure condition that pulls the airplane into it.


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.

Can the shape of a wing help obtain lift?

Yes. Wing shape and speed are the two main factors in obtaining lift. The typical wing design has a mostly flat bottom side and a more curved top side. The leading edge of the wing bulges upward on top so that air crossing the wing is pushed upward. The bulge then thins out, sloping downward toward the wing's rear. The result of this difference in shape between the top and bottom of the wing is that there is less air pressure above the wing than below. The greater pessure under the wing pushes upward, creating lift.
