acting upon the wings of an airplane that allow it to counteract gravity. Contrary to popular belief‚ the Bernoulli principle is not responsible for most of the lift generated by an airplanes wings. Rather‚ the lift is created by air being deflected off the wings and transferring an upward force to those wings. The most important factor in determining the lift generated by an airplane is the angle of attack. The angle of attack is the degree measure from the horizontal that a wing is elevated or

Also‚ here you can greatly understand the theory behind the said topic. | A ll the object here on the Earth above‚ needs a wing in order to lift itself and a power to push itself forward.

Archimedes’ principle. Although they are not entirely the same in the they apply these theories but in a way they are similar. Whether fixed or rotating the wing achieves lift due to it’s shape. The upper side is rounded causing passing air to accelerate. This makes the air less dense creating a low pressure compared to air below the wing which generates the lift. On top of that‚ both helicopters and airplanes are widely use in many different fields. Comercial‚ military‚ search and rescue‚ and law

called sky lanterns date back to the 3rd century BC‚ and were only the second type of aircraft to fly‚ the first being kites. A balloon was originally any aerostat‚ while the term airship was used for large‚ powered aircraft designs – usually fixed-wing[citation needed] – though none had yet been built. The advent of powered balloons‚ called dirigible balloons‚ and later of rigid hulls allowing a great increase in size‚ began to change the way these words were used. Huge powered aerostats‚ characterized
