Lift Force

A force produced perpendicular to the flow of a fluid. It is predicted by Bernoulli's law for any obstacle which compresses streamlines at one boundary and compresses them on the opposite one, resulting in a difference in pressures which causes the lift force


where is the lift coefficient, A is the area of wing, and is the angle of attack (in radians).
