Lift Generation

Lift Generation is a fundamental aerodynamic phenomenon in which a perpendicular force is produced relative to the oncoming airflow as a result of pressure differentials and flow deflection around a lifting surface, primarily due to the asymmetry in velocity distribution induced by airfoil geometry and angle of attack.
