Whenever I see an explanation about how airplanes can fly, I see that the shape of the wing is different on the top side to create a dragging force that pushes the airplane up. The top is curved and the bottom is flat. If a airplane turn upside down, should it fall faster because it’s dragging down ? I saw airplanes doing acrobatics on air , and some of them looks impossible because of this.
In: Engineering
the wings provide force in relation to the angle in relation to the direction of airflow. just like when you put your hand outside the window in a moving car and the air forces your hand up or down depending on what angle you hold it at. if the plane is upside down but pointed above the horizon, then it’s still going to be pushed up
