Why does the air moving over the top of an airplane wing have to move faster?
Why does the air moving over the top of an airplane wing have to move faster?
- Because of Bernoulli's principle (correct)
- Because the air is elastic
- Because of the curved shape of the wing
- Because the air meets the air on the other side
What is the purpose of the curved shape of an airplane wing?
What is the purpose of the curved shape of an airplane wing?
- To decrease the pressure on the top of the wing
- To increase the speed of the airplane
- To make the airplane more aerodynamic (correct)
- To decrease the pressure on the bottom of the wing
Why does the lower surface of an airplane wing have less curvature than the upper surface?
Why does the lower surface of an airplane wing have less curvature than the upper surface?
- To make the airplane more aerodynamic
- To decrease the pressure on the bottom of the wing (correct)
- To increase the pressure on the top of the wing
- To increase the speed of the airplane
