How do wings generate lift?
How do wings generate lift?
They don't, the earth is flat, jews did 9/11.
No but for real tho, how do wings generate lift?
They dont. The earth is flat, and jews did 9/11.
Cant you read?
They don't like that. You need an angle of attack to push air down.
Speed and wing ailerons generates lift. Pressure difference.
air is forced into the wing generating lift.
The super simplified, non-troll version
It's based on Bernouli's principle.
P1 + 1/2*density*Velocity1^2 = P2 + 1/2*density*Velocity2^2
Air on the top half of the wing is moving faster than air over the bottom, creating lower pressure on the top of the wing vs the bottom half of the wing. This pressure differentiation causes an upward lifting force (lift).
That wing you have drawn would not, in fact, create lift
The easiest way to see this is to note that the top and bottom are symmetrical indicating there's no reason why that wing should lift upwards instead of downwards.
The reason wings lift is because the curved shape causes the air on the top to move faster than the air on the bottom. As the air on the bottom moves faster and is thinner, the thicker and slower air on the bottom pushes upwards. This same principle tells you why ping pong balls curve in the air, or why if you spin a baseketball and drop it off a bridge it'll go in a certain direction: the spinning ball will slow down air opposing the direction of rotation and speed up the air going with the direction of rotation leading to a difference in air pressure.
this is some bullshit, because planes can fly upside down.
