Unequal Pressure
The aircraft's wing is shaped so that the air passing over the wing moves faster than the air under the wing causing a positive pressure differential, thus creating lift. In simpler terms, it is the air moving above the wing, not below the wing, that causes lift.

How long for a 737 to fly 150 miles?
a little less than an hour
What term creates the lift that allows gliders to fly?
unequal pressure
How do aeroplanes fly even though there airfoils cant flap like birds wings?
The different air pressure above and below the wings creates lift and allows the 'plane to fly given enough forward motion.The different air pressure above and below the wings creates lift and allows the 'plane to fly given enough forward motion.
How long can blad eagle fly?
Eagles are exceptional gliders. So, as long as a bald eagle has lift beneath his wings, he can stay aloft.
How do gliders fly?
Gliders are pulled by a small plane into the air and then the gliders move around catching air currents from the heat.
What is the difference between a helicopter creating lift and anairplane creating lift?
the difference between an helicopter creating lift and an airplane creating lift is simple. an airplane creates lift by moving forward and its wing that has an aerofoil shaped will create lift. this gives the lift for the airplane and to fly. for helicopters, instead of the aerofoil is fix like an airplane, the aerofoil wing is rotating and create lift. that is why the helicopter does not need to move forward to gain momentum to create lift. by rotating the aerofoil (the blade) the helicopter can creates enough lift to lift up the helicopter.and that's how it fly..
Why is weather forecast important for hang gliders?
Hang gliders rely on currents of warm air called thermals - to lift them high into the atmosphere. Knowing the type of weather in the area they want to fly - enables them to plan a route to make the most of the available updrafts.
Do paper planes fly longer with a wide wingspan?
Sort of a wider wing span creates more lift but also creates more drag the shape of the wing is also a factor
Are there any planes that fly with no noise?
Yes, gliders.
Can airplanes fly without air?
No, the air is what allows for lift. The only way an airplane can "fly" without air is if the downward force of gravity didn't exist.
What does the difference in air presssure above and below a birds wing cause?
The difference in air pressure above and below a wing causes lift. The lift creates flight. The result is that birds fly.
Do sugar gliders have wings?
No, they do not they are marsupials. They are able to glide because of their membrane that extends from the fifth finger to the first toe. When they stretch their legs out while jumping it allows the membrane to be stretched out along with it which allows them to glide 50-150 meters.
What has the evolution of flight allows insects do?
Insects fly by air aerodynamics lift,thrust,drag,gravity! Sheesh use your brains!
