Explain with the aid of a diagram, why air flows over the wings of an aircraft causes a lift. 

  • Air flows above the wing of a plane at high velocity hence low pressure.
  • Below the wings, air flows at low velocity and hence high pressure.
  • The difference in pressure causes a lift force, therefore net upward force.
