| THE SCIENCE BEHIND FLIGHT - THE TAKEOFF PHASE OF FLIGHT | ||
How does Newton’s Third Law of Motion affect air movement over and under the wing related to lift? Remember the air moving across the top of the curved wing is moving faster than the air across the bottom of the wing. The air moving across the top leaves the wing’s trailing edge (back edge of wing which is pointed slightly down) and “pushes” the air down. |
