The hand demonstration is one of the simplest and most effective explanations I've found yet. Cheers!

Came to the comments to say this, too :) With all other explanations I'd watched, I didn't come away with an understanding as exactly what caused the pressure diff.

@@C0ttageChees It's not that simple. I was confused by the video because I would have thought that the hand naturally goes up if you dangle if from a car window because slanting it will make wind hit the bottom and push it up. airplane wings aren't tilted like that. When the airplane wing is slicing through the air, the airplane wing is made so the air has to take a longer route to get to the other side. Because air has to move faster at the top of the wing in order to get to the end of the wing in time to meet the air flowing at the bottom, the air is more apart from each other and the pressure is lower than the bottom. Lower pressure=lighter than bottom air=lift. sorry for the long reply.

@@kornelijekovac9793 Nah, it really has to do with the shape of the wing causing differing pressures at the top and bottom of the airfoil... I am not an expert, I just have a decent understanding. I'm not really the one to consult for an in-depth explanation, but in simple terms the larger surface area of the top of the airfoil distributes the air molecules over a larger area, compared the the bottom of the wing. There's plenty of great videos made by people who actually know what they're talking about... (not me, of course)

How does the high and low pressure define?

@Edwardianschool Ай бұрын

The “pushing up” effect on your hand outside a car window is actually caused by drag, not lift.

@michaelpointer9724 22 күн бұрын

It's lift by definition. Drag is the force component in flow direction, lift is perpendicular. They are just normal components of the pressure distribution

@david_porthouse Жыл бұрын

When the wing starts from rest, it dumps a starting vortex. Vorticity of opposite rotation bound up with the wing generates lift by the Magnus effect. When the wing stops, it dumps a stopping vortex. If the wing moves intermittently, it dumps a vortex street. This can be visualised.

@rudybhai1657 Жыл бұрын

pressure is inversely proportional to velocity. while lifting up there was very heigh velocity on upper side of its wings and low velocity on bottom side. PRESSURE IS HEIGHER AT LOWER PART OF ITS WINGS. THEREFORE IT LIFTS UP. IT FOLLOWS BERNOULLI'S EQUATION. I'm not sure but this is what I learnt in my class

Im still amaze how tons of baggage can be lift up by a plane simply just doing this principle😊

@BluelarkAviationLLC-qc6rg 2 ай бұрын

Lift greater than weight? In most circumstances Lift will equal weight except generally when "pulling" G's. Excess thrust is what allows airplane to climb on takeoff. Once in a stabilized climb and no airspeed changes, all of the airplanes forces are equal. I would argue in all the basic senses of flight, forces will equal each other always.

@tylisirn 2 жыл бұрын

While Bernoulli contributes (pressure difference), Newton (opposite and equal reaction force) is much more important - the wings predominately create lift by deflecting the airstream downwards which pushes the wing upwards. This is how even a completely flat airfoil like paper airplane can generate lift when it can't generate any pressure difference, and how airplanes can fly upside down even though the pressure difference is on the wrong side of the wings.

You do know that I was joking with the comment that I had made about it being black magic and if man was ment to fly he would have wings it's in fun like the videos he provided I am aware of the fact that we're able to fly and how it works but thank you and stay safe peace ✌

@sebastiansiswick2903 2 жыл бұрын

Ah you see, the air hitting the wing and being deflected is creating a pressure difference between the sides, as pressure is simply force/area, and there is more air hitting the lower wing meaning more force in the same area so higher pressure than above. However, the only reason an aircraft flys Newton’s second law.

If horses ran faster lift would have been discovered way sooner than it did. Of course if an inventor wanted to fly, a stout wind from a storm would have given him an idea. Every kid has stuck his hand put a car window and discovered lift.

@crazybird199 Жыл бұрын

Not quite with the hand, but decent start. A wing actually generates lift via a special shape called an airfoil. This does the same thing but allows the wings to be essentially level and still produce lift. Many airplanes also slant the wings up compared to the fuselage to deflect the oncoming air down and further reduce air pressure on top.
