    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.
