Wing of an Airplane
The Science
I find aeroplanes weirdly interesting, mimicking the motion of a bird, it can be said that they go against the motion of gravity. The wing of a plane is designed in such a way that it uses a pressure difference to "lift" the plane in the air. Air moves faster over the top of the wing than it does on the bottom surface. Since the area remains constant, when the speed of the wind increases, the pressure of the air decreases. Contrary to this, at the bottom of the wing, air pressure is at great intensity since speed of the air is low; this pressure difference creates an "air lift" that causes the aeroplane to fly at such great heights.
Why I Chose It
I wanted to share this fun fact about the mechanism of an Aeroplane since I find it fascinating.
