Question

As an airplane moves forward,the shape of its wings causes a difference in pressure below and above the wings. What’s is the effect of the difference in pressure

Answer 1

A wing is shaped and tilted so the air moving over it moves faster than the air moving under it. As air speeds up, its pressure goes down. So the faster-moving air above exerts less pressure on the wing than the slower-moving air below. The result is an upward push on the wing—lift!
