Lift as a force

Lift results from a difference of air pressure along the wing.

Lift - A Real Pick Me Up

Lift as a force

Lift results from a difference of air pressure along the wing. Lift is up and perpendicular to the flight path.

Lift as a force

Lift results from a difference of air pressure along the wing. Lift is up and perpendicular to the flight path. Lift is sensitive to both:
