Lift (force) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Lift (force)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jump to: navigation, search

A fluid flowing past the surface of a body exerts a surface force on it. Lift is defined to be the component of this force that is perpendicular to the oncoming flow direction. It contrasts with the drag force, which is defined to be the component of the surface force parallel to the flow direction.
