Abstract The problem discussed in this report is how lift is truly generated on an aerofoil and also explaining the misconceptions of lift and why they are not correct.

Since lift is a result of the thrust or motion of the aircraft it is therefore a force (vector) because it has a magnitude and a direction. But lift cannot be achieved without thrust. This is the mechanical
