The Role of Lift in Overcoming Gravity

Background Bernoulli’s Principle (discussed in the previous lesson) also applies to flight. The difference in pressures as air moves around an aircraft’s wings creates lift. Lift is the upward force caused by differences in air pressure. All wings, be they aircraft or animal, have a curved surface on top of a flatter surface on the bottom. The curved surface on top of a wing forces air to travel faster, causing lower pressure.

The flat surface on the bottom of the wing forces air to move slower, causing higher pressure. A smaller force is exerted on top of the wing, while a greater force is exerted below the wing. As a result, the wings are pushed upward. Placing flaps on the leading and trailing edge of a wing, as in jet aircraft, increases the curve of the wing and, therefore, increases lift.

Activity Aircraft Pictures

Questions What do you think enables a plane to fly? What makes the plane move forward? What makes the plane stay in the air? How are the wings shaped on the planes? How is the top of the wing shaped? How is the bottom of the wing shaped? How do you think air moves over and under the wing?

The shape of the wing on a plane plays an important role in keeping the plane in the air. Construct a wing using their strip of paper, a pencil and tape. Hold the ends of the pencil so the wing hangs freely, then position the pencil just below your bottom lip. Now blow downward over the top of the wing and observe that the wing lifts.

Based on what you have learned about Bernoulli’s Principle, why do you think the wing lifts? The upward force caused by the air pressure differences is called lift. The fast-moving air over the wing causes an area of low pressure. The air under the wing is moving slower, therefore, the pressure is higher. This high pressure area exerts force, which lifts the wing.

Look again at the pictures of planes etc. Note the shape of the wings!!! The curved top of the wing causes air to move faster than the air moving past the flat bottom of the wing. Now we look at flaps!!! What do you think is the purpose of flaps on the wings? Make flaps by cutting out small pieces of paper and taping them to the front and back of the wing. Once the flaps are attached blow on the wings again. Note: putting flaps on wings makes the wing more curved, creating greater lift.

Activity sheet So you will get different types of paper and you can test them to see what is the best to make a wing!!! Present findings!
