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.
What does a plane need to make it fly?
Using light-weight materials, an aerodynamic design, power source to get the plane off the ground will all help. Probably the biggest thing a plane needs is enough lift from the wings. The shape of the wing helps create this lift. The wing's profile kind of looks like a tear drop that is flat on the bottom and curved on the top tapering to a point to the rear of the wing. If I remember correctly, this profile creates an area of high pressure on the underside of the wing compared to a lower pressure on top of the wing. This is what creates the lift for the plane. Of course you have to maintain a proper speed to maintain this lift in order to keep the plane in the air...Hope that helps.
Which has more lift a plane with large wings or a plane with small wings flying at the same speed?
A plane with large wings is likely to have more lift because the airflow around the plane is more.AnswerThe amount of Lift produced by a wing depends on several variables: Wing size(plan shape), Airfoil shape and Angle of Attack.Wings are designed with different airfoil shape. So a large wing will not have the same airfoil shape as a smaller wing for the same aircraft weight. Like wise, the wing can be designed to have a fixed angle of attack that is more on one aircraft than another.
How does plane fly in the air?
If you look at the typical airplane wing, you will notice that the bottom is relatively flat as opposed to the top of the wing that is curved. As the wing goes through the air, the air on top of the wing must travel faster relative to the air on the bottom of the wing. This create a low pressure vacuum on top of the wing. That vacuum creates lift, and enables the plane to sustain flight. This behavior is the Bernoulli principle. As the wing angle is increased, relative to the air it's going through (called Angle of Attack), it will increase lift, at least to a point. When a wing angle of attack becomes to high, the air above the wing becomes too turbulent and the wing will then "stall" (stops producing lift).
How does Bernoulli's Principal make a plane fly?
Bernoulli's Principal is as the speed of a fluid (liquid or gad) increases the pressure of the fluid decreases. The shape of an airplane wing causes the air to move faster over the top of the wing, thus lifting the wing up. Bernoulli's Principal states that fluids flow faster when compressed, therefore a wing( which is curve on top and straight on the bottom) which forces air on top to flow faster due to the curvature decreases the pressure on the top of the wing, thus creating lift.
Why is a plane's wing curved?
To make it more aerodynamic.
What part of the planes wing controls the direction of the plane?
Rudder on the wing of the plane controls the direction.
What is the wing of a plane called?
It is just called the wing.
What is a plane with one wing called?
Mono plane.
To make an airplane turn a pilot increases the drag on one wing On which wing would a pilot increase drag to make the plane turn to the right?
The right one Kind of. Actually by moving the aileron downward the pilot increases the arch of the wing causing it to produce more lift causing that wing to raise up, making the plane roll. By moving an aileron upward the pilot removes some arch from the wing causing it to produce less lift and the wing dips. The rudder on the tail of the plane actually steers the plane much like a rudder steers a boat. However it is a combination of the ailerons and the rudder that produce a coordinated turn, keeping the center of gravity in the center of the plane, and making it a comfortable turn.
What does the wing do on a plane?
It provides lift to keep the plane airborne.
What is the function of the wing of a plane?
To lift the plane and enable it to fly.

How does a pilot change the direction of the plane?
A pilot has special controls on the plane which are used to fly the plane. These are used to roll, pitch, and yaw the plane. To roll the plane to the right or left, the ailerons are raised on one wing and lowered on the other. The wing with the lowered aileron rises while the wing with the raised aileron drops. Pitch is to make a plane descend or climb. The pilot adjusts the elevators on the tail to make a plane descend or climb. Lowering the elevators caused the airplane's nose to drop, sending the plane into a down. Raising the elevators causes the airplane to climb. Yaw is the turning of a plane. When the rudder is turned to one side, the airplane moves left or right. The airplane's nose is pointed in the same direction as the direction of the rudder. The rudder and the ailerons are used together to make a turn .
Why do wing length and plane weight matter with paper airplanes?
The combination of wing area and plane weight affect a paper airplane's glide ratio and range.
What type of wing design makes the paper plane stay in the air longest?
The large wing usually works depending on what type of paper plane you want.
