Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The way that airplane wings generate lift is explained by Bernoulli's principle, which states that as the speed of a fluid (such as air) increases, its pressure decreases. Air moving over the curved upper surface of an airplane's wing has to move faster than air passing underneath the flat bottom surface. This creates a lower pressure area above the wing, and the higher pressure air underneath the wing pushes up on it, generating lift.
