HI guys
i got this question wrong its liken , how does the surface upper the wing makes lift ?
As the air flows over the upper surface of the wing it increases its speed and the pressure exerted on that surface drops. The pressure on the lower surface remains higher than the pressure on the upper surface. It is this pressure difference that results in a force that pushes the wing up and back [the total reaction]. The total reaction can then be resolved into two components - lift acting at right angles to the relative airflow and drag acting parallel to the relative airflow.
