Lift as a force
Lift results from a difference of air pressure along the wing.
Lift as a force Lift results from a difference of air pressure along the wing. Lift is up and perpendicular to the flight path.
Lift as a force Lift results from a difference of air pressure along the wing. Lift is up and perpendicular to the flight path. Lift is sensitive to both:
Lift as a force Lift results from a difference of air pressure along the wing. Lift is up and perpendicular to the flight path. Lift is sensitive to both: Air speed over the wing
Lift as a force Lift results from a difference of air pressure along the wing. Lift is up and perpendicular to the flight path. Lift is sensitive to both: Air speed over the wing Angle of attack of the wing
Lift as a force Lift results from a difference of air pressure along the wing. Lift is up and perpendicular to the flight path. Lift is sensitive to air speed and angle of attack Lift Vectors
Lift as a force Lift Vectors Green – vertical lift
Lift as a force Lift Vectors Green – vertical lift Yellow – horizontal lift (very small)
Lift as a force Lift Vectors Green – vertical lift Yellow – horizontal lift (very small) Red - drag
Lift Stall Airplane begins to fall from the sky. Results from not enough air flowing over the wings.
