The top of a wing is curved with the highest point at the front to the lowest the back edge. Under throwing is flat. The air hitting the Leading edge moves over the top of the wing where it causes a vacumn. This causes the wing to be sucked upward to fill the vacumn. This is the lift required

How does an airplane achieve lift?

The speed of air over and under the wings creates pressure which is lift.


What if lift is not equal but is greater than gravity while flying straight?

If the lift is greater than gravity then the airplane gains altitude.


How is the wing of the airplane important?

It's important because it is the aircraft's means of getting lift and flying.


What is the effect of stall on an airplane?

When an airplane stalls, the wings lose lift for a brief period. This makes the airplane pitch down sharply to regain airspeed and resume flying.


Is an airplane external force?

Yes, an airplane is subject to external forces such as lift, weight, thrust, and drag while flying. These external forces are crucial for the airplane to maintain its flight.


Which force acts on the plane at a distance A. drag B. thrust C. lift D. weight?

C. Lift. Lift is the force that acts on the airplane at a distance A while it is flying.


What are the forces in a fling aroplane?

Thrust (from engine), aerodynamic drag, lift (from wings) and weight (mass * acceleration due to gravity).


What are the differences between an airplane and a rocket?

An airplane relies on engines and wings for lift and propulsion, flying within Earth's atmosphere. A rocket, on the other hand, carries its own fuel and oxidizer for propulsion in space and doesn't need wings to generate lift. Additionally, rockets achieve thrust by expelling propellant at high speeds.


What helps an airplane achieve flight by causing the airplane to move faster through the air?

Thrust generated by the airplane's engines helps it achieve flight by propelling it forward and increasing its speed through the air. This increased speed allows the wings to generate lift, which raises the airplane off the ground.


How do people fly?

People fly by traveling in airplanes, which use engines to generate enough thrust to overcome gravity and lift the aircraft into the air. The shape of the wings on the airplane create lift, allowing it to stay airborne. By controlling the speed and angle of the airplane, pilots are able to navigate through the sky.


Does your weight change when you are flying in an airplaine?

Your weight does not change when you are flying in an airplane because your weight is a measure of the force of gravity acting on your mass, which remains constant. However, you may feel lighter due to the sensation of weightlessness caused by the airplane's motion and the lift generated by the wings.


How do airplane wings work to achieve lift?

An Airplanes wings work to achieve lift by using and airfoil shape. This means that the top of the wing is curved and the bottom is flat. The air flows faster over the top of the wing and slower on the bottom. This causes the higher pressure that is now on the bottom to lift up the airplane from the wings. This kind of lift cannot work without thrust to start lifting it up! I hope this helped!
