What is the use wing top?
The top of profile is called extraback, underside intrados.
Was the larger biplane wing on the top or bottom?
The larger wing was usually on the top.
What is the image of wing top?

Is there a greater or lesser air pressure on top of the wing when lift occurs?
There has to be lesser air pressure on the top of the wing to provide lift.
What causes lift on an airplane wing?
The air on top of the wing is at a lower pressure than the air at the bottom of the wing so wing is pulled upwards
Why do boomerangs fly?
When thrown the top wing of the spin moves in the same direction ,while the wing on the bottom of the spin moves in the opposite direction of the throw. The wing on top is spinning at the same speed as the bottom wing. More air passes under the top wing which lifts the boomerang. The boomerang travels in a circle returning back to the thrower.
What is a wing top used for?
A wing top is an accessory that can be used with a Bunsen burner to provide a broad flat fan flame.used to bend glass
Why is the surface on the top of an airplane wing curved?
The top surface of an airplane wing is curved to create lift. Because of the curve, air has to travel farther across the top of the wing than across the bottom; this creates a low-pressure condition that pulls the airplane into it.
Is there more or less pressure under the wing of an airplane?
There is more pressure under the wing than is on top of the wing. This is what generates the lift for flight.
Can the shape of a wing help obtain lift?
Yes. Wing shape and speed are the two main factors in obtaining lift. The typical wing design has a mostly flat bottom side and a more curved top side. The leading edge of the wing bulges upward on top so that air crossing the wing is pushed upward. The bulge then thins out, sloping downward toward the wing's rear. The result of this difference in shape between the top and bottom of the wing is that there is less air pressure above the wing than below. The greater pessure under the wing pushes upward, creating lift.
Why aeroplanes fly in the air?
The primary reason is power. With enough power behind it you can make a rock fly as when you throw a rock. The actual theory of flight is "lift". Airplane wings are designed so that the air going over the top of the wing is moving faster than the air going under the wing. This creates pressure under the wing and causes it to lift. If you take a tape measure and measure the top of a wing and then measure the bottom of the wing you will find that the top measure is longer than the bottom measure. This means the air on top has to move faster to get over the wing on top.
How do airplanes flya?
They way airplanes fly is actually very simple. The wing of an airplane is curved on the top and flat on the bottom. This means that the top side of the wing is longer than the bottom part. When air passes by the wing, some of the air goes on top and some on the bottom. Because the particles of air want to stay together by the law of attraction, the air that passes over the top of the wing moves faster than the air that flows under the wing. This causes a low pressure system to form above the wing and a high pressure system to form below the wing. The higher pressure beneath the wing forces the wing up allowing the air plane to fly. This is also called Bernoullis principle.
