the force that exerts an upward pull

The upward force generated by air passing over and under an aircraft's wings, resulting in air pressure above the wing decreasing in relation to the air pressure below the wing. In normal, forward flight, the lift force " lifts" the aircraft into the air. Engineers design airplanes so that the lift created by the wings opposes the weight force.

A force that pushes perpendicular to the direction of movement; acts against the force of weight in level flight

A force generated by a wing which acts perpendicular (90 degrees) to the incoming flow. This is what lets an airplane climb.

the force created by the forward motion of the airplane's wing. Air pressure over the wing is less than the pressure below the wing and so the wing, along with the rest of the model, is pushed upwards.

The upward reaction of an aircraft to the flow of air air forced over the shape of the wing (airfoil). The front and rear wings of ground effect cars are shaped like inverted wings to create downforce or negative lift. Monocoque: A Body structure that derives its strength and rigidity from unitized construction, rather than a framework of thick members.

This is the force that a wing, rotor, propeller or similar surface creates from wind passing over it. The physics behind lift are complicated, but can be generally described as resulting from pressure differences below and above the lifting surface (more pressure below creates lift). Pressure differences result from the "action/reaction" force of wind being deflected over the surface and in small part from the Bernouli principal which holds that the shape of the surface contributes to pressure differentials.

the upward force on the bottom of the wing created by the airflow passing over it

A vertical upward force caused by airflow around or under a vehicle's body.

Lift is the force a balloon pulls upward. A helium balloon that rises in the air has enough lift to carry itself and the weight attached to it. Larger helium balloons have more lift than smaller helium balloons because they displace more of the heavier air.

tube A source of water movement used with under gravel filters and some other filters, such as sponge filters. Large bubbles are released in a tube about 1 inch wide. As they rush upwards, they pull the water in the tube up as well.

The force generated by the movement of air across the wings of an aircraft. When enough lift is generated to overcome the weight of an aircraft, the aircraft rises.

A vertical force directed upward, produced by the airflow around a moving object: such as a car body.

The point at which a bowler releases the ball as his armswing continues in an upward movement.

(1) The component in a vertical, upward direction in straight and level flight of the resultant force created by the relative wind acting on the lifting surfaces of an aeroplane. (2) The total buoyancy of an airship.

The force exerted on an airfoil, such as a wing by a flow of air over and around it, causing it to rise perpendicularly to the direction of flight

Number of airplane seats available on flights to a destination.

The sum of all the aerodynamic forces acting on an aircraft at right angles to the flight path. When the aircraft is in steady level flight the lift is equal and opposite to the weight of the aircraft. Wings create lift.

the distance or extent to which water in a canal lock rises.

in flight, the net upward force created by the shape of the wing

This force comes when the air below the airplane wing is pushing up harder than the air above it is pushing down. It si this difference in pressure that enables the plane to fly.

Upward motion of the ball as it comes off the fingers at the point of release.

A condition, caused by air flowing over a wing, that allows a bird to rise in the air.

That component of the aerodynamic force which is perpendicular to the direction of a body's travel, directed vertically upwards or downwards (negative lift).

Lift, most often used when discussing flight, can have a serious effect on vehicles traveling at high speeds. Taking into account the velocity of a vehicle, high volumes of air hit the underside, simultaneously pushing up on the vehicle and pushing down on the road. This upward pressure directly negates downforce and tire friction, causing loose and unsafe handling. Ever seen a speedboat crash? It's the same idea, which is detailed at length in Bernoulli's Principle. The ultra-light boat has too much air pushing against the bottom, and eventually is forced airborne by the pressure. Lift is just one reason why vehicles are so unpredictable and unsafe at high speeds.

Upward motion imparted to the ball by the fingers at release.

The rise in Sprayed Polyurethane Foam resulting from a pass.

The mysterious force that wings generate. An aeroplane only stays up because the wings are pushing air down so hard that the weight of the machine is supported. (This is Newton's law of equal and opposite reaction by the way.) Basically a wing is just an inclined flat surface (a 'plane' : hence 'aeroplane') and a lot of lift is generated simply by it meeting the air at speed and at a slight upward angle. This is how a kite flies. However even more air is deflected down by the top surface due to its cunningly curved profile. Additional lift is derived from the Bernoulli Effect which occurs when air travelling over the top of the wing actually speeds up in relation to the air around it. An increase in speed leads to a decrease in pressure and so a suction effect is created. Strangely the top of the wing creates two thirds of the total lift, and the bottom surface only one third. Propeller blades are really just small wings which create lift horizontally.

Aerodynamic force that pushes upward on a body as it moves through an airstream. Airplane wings generate lift; racecar bodies may also generate lift, positive or negative (downward force) as they move down the track.

upward pressure which the air exerts on a kite or aircraft, counteracting the force of gravity.

force that is perpendicular to the airflow around an aircraft. In normal, forward flight, the lift force "lifts" the aircraft into the air. Engineers design airplanes so that the lift created by the wings opposes the weight force.

A force that acts upwards against gravity. Also refers to the upward reaction of an aircraft to the flow of air forced over the shape of the wing (airfoil).

Aerodynamic forces that support a vehicle solely due to airflow or pressure.

An upward force caused by the rush of air over the wings, supporting the airplane in flight.

elevator

is what keeps birds and airplanes afloat, and turns the blades of a wind turbine. The wind splits apart when it hits the blade. Because the blade is curved, the wind passing on top moves faster and weighs less than the wind passing beneath. That creates upward pressure, or lift.

That component of the aerodynamic force acting on an airfoil and opposing gravity.

The force that pulls a wind turbine blade, as opposed to drag.

The lift force, lifting force or simply lift consists of the sum of all the fluid dynamic forces on a body perpendicular to the direction of the external flow approaching that body.

To pick hounds up while hunting and move them forward on the line.

A huntsman lifts hounds when he takes them off the line they are hunting and on to a view, the line of another rabbit or some other objective.

This is what a huntsman does when he calls his hounds to him and takes them to a point where he thinks the fox has gone, and where they can hit the scent again without having to try to find the scent over the ground in between. He may take them some considerable distance if he is sure that he knows the route the fox has taken. To lift hounds and then disappoint them is bad practice.

The vertical distance in feet between the source of water and the pump of a fire department pumper. Water that is drafted is often referred to as being lifted. Height a column of water may be lifted in sufficient quantity to provide a reliable fire flow. Lift may be raised through a hard suction hose to a pump, taking into consideration the atmospheric pressure and friction loss within the hard suction hose. Dependable lift is usually considered to be 14.7 feet (4.5 in). Maximum lift is the height to which any amount of water may be raised through a hard suction hose to a pump. Theoretical lift is the scientific height that a column of water may be lifted by atmospheric pressure in a true vacuum. At sea level, this height is 33.8 feet (10 in). The height will decrease as elevation increases.
