How Airplane Wings Create Lift

“Ever wondered why airplanes don’t just fall from the sky?” “It’s not the engines

— it’s the wings. Air moves faster over the curved top than below, creating lift from

pressure difference. That lift can carry hundreds of tons. The wing shape, called an airfoil,maximizes

lift while reducing drag. Even if one engine fails, planes can still

fly on the other aviation is designed with safety redundancy.“Next time you fly, remember it’s science

keeping you in the air,not magic.”
