Technology / Aviation / Lift: The force exerted on the top of a moving airfoil as a low-pressure area [vacuum] that causes a wingform to rise. AIRFOILs do not 'float' on air, as is often assumed?€”like a boat hull floats on water?€”but are 'pulled up' [lifted] by low air pressures trying to equalize.
