Study Notes
Lift in Airplanes
- The wing of an airplane generates most of the lift.
- Lift is an upward-acting force, perpendicular to the wing surface.
- Lift acts upward, opposing the weight of the airplane.
Factors Affecting Lift
- Lift magnitude is affected by wing shape and size.
- Air density affects lift, with denser air resulting in more lift.
- Aircraft speed and angle of attack also impact lift magnitude.
