    How Wings Generate Lift?

    The design of airplane wings is engineered to accelerate air flow over the wing's surface. As air speeds up, its pressure decreases.

    Consequently, the pressure above the wing becomes lower than the pressure below the wing.

    This difference in pressure generates an upward force on the wing, which lifts the airplane into the air.
