Air pressure directly affects the wings ability to produce lift because of air density. Air pressure increases or decreases with temperature increase and decrease. Hotter air cooks away moisture and is less dense. Colder air attracts moisture and is more dense. In order for a plane's wing to produce lift on a hot day, a faster, longer takeoff roll will be required to produce lift because of the thinner air.

Which is the upward force acting on the wing of a plane in flight?

The upward force acting on the wing of a plane in flight is called lift. It is generated by the air flowing over and under the wing due to the shape of the wing and the angle of attack. Lift is essential for keeping the plane aloft and counteracting the force of gravity.
