Why are wings used on racecars if they produce lift on planes?
Shelby901
If that wing is turned upside down, it increases drag instead of lift. Race cars use this increased downward force to give them more traction at higher speeds.

How do birds create lift?
by running and jumping off the ground, also by flapping their wings -Although SOME birds (like the Albatross) have a hard time flapping, THEY HAVE TO WAIT for a strong breeze. Airplanes' wings are thicker at the front of the wing than at the back of the wing. This is in imitation of birds' wings.
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 much weight can a mini excavator lift?
An average 3 ton mini excavator will lift approx 1400kg, almost half the weight of the machine as a general rule of thumb
How is lift created?
Generally, lift is created when the pressure below an object is greater than the pressure above it. For example: an airplane wing is curved on top to allow for air to seamlessly pass over, creating low pressure on the upper surface and the wing is obstructed on the bottom, creating higher pressure to lift the wing. As for a helicopter, the air is pushed down by the propeller, causing high pressure below the rotation plane, causing lift.
What is the name of a simple seat hanging on a cable?
A chair lift
Why do planes have wings?
To provide the lift that is required to glide through the air without plummeting to the ground.
Why do aircrafts have long wings?
Long wings create more lift. So jet planes have long wings.
How do planes stay up?
Lift pushes the airplane up. The way air moves around the wings gives the airplane lift. The shape of the wings helps with lift, too.
Why so planes fly?
Because you idiot the planes wings have lift and the motor's have the lifting power to enable the wing's lift to actually work it is honestly a chain reaction....
How do wingless aircraft produce lift?
The only 'wingless aircraft' are helicopters. These produce lift lift from the rotor blades, which are in fact, long narrow wings.
What is the importance of wings on an airplane?
The importance of wings is critical to an airplane, they produce lift that can sustain the airplane in the air.
Why do planes need to run before take off?
The lift required to get the plane off the ground is created by the flow of the air over the planes wings.
What force does a air planes wings cause?
I believe that the lift force it causes is called the Coreolis Effect.
Which feather is important for flight?
The large one on a birds wings; they produce lift.
Why cant an aeropane fly into space?
Because planes need air pressure against their wings to generate lift.
Why are the wings of some planes bent up at the tips?
These are called winglets. They reduce drag therefore increase lift.
What is the difference between a bi-plane and mono-plane?
A biplane has two (bi) sets of wings, and a monoplane has one (mono) set of wings. The two sets of wings on a biplane add lift, and also drag, allowing it to fly slower. The one set of wings on a monoplane do not add as much lift or drag, making it faster, and as a result, all the fastest planes are monoplanes, and most planes these days are monoplanes.
