2. Vortex lift - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vortex_lift

   Four basic configurations which have used vortex lift are, in chronological order, the 60-degree delta wing; the ogive delta wing with its sharply-swept leading edge at the root; the moderately-swept wing with a leading-edge extension, which is known as a hybrid wing; and the sharp-edge forebody, or vortex-lift strake. [7] Wings which generate ...

3. Washout (aeronautics) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Washout_(aeronautics)

   Washout near the tips can also be used to decrease lift-induced drag, since at a lower angle of incidence, the lift produced will be lower, and thus the component of that lift which acts against thrust is reduced, however, it has been theorised by Albion H. Bowers that certain washout characteristics in the tips, that lead to a bell-shaped span ...

4. Flap (aeronautics) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flap_(aeronautics)

   Extending the wing flaps increases the camber or curvature of the wing, raising the maximum lift coefficient or the upper limit to the lift a wing can generate. This allows the aircraft to generate the required lift at a lower speed, reducing the minimum speed (known as stall speed) at which the aircraft will safely maintain flight.

6. Coandă effect - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coandă_effect

   The Shin Meiwa US-1A flying boat utilizes a similar system, only it directs the propwash from its four turboprop engines over the top of the wing to generate low-speed lift. More uniquely, it incorporates a fifth turboshaft engine inside of the wing center-section solely to provide air for powerful blown flaps. The addition of these two systems ...

7. Lift (force) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lift_(force)

   Lift is proportional to the density of the air and approximately proportional to the square of the flow speed. Lift also depends on the size of the wing, being generally proportional to the wing's area projected in the lift direction. In calculations it is convenient to quantify lift in terms of a lift coefficient based on these factors.

8. Pitch-up - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pitch-up

   If the wing is positioned so its CoP lies near CoG for the aircraft, in level flight the wing will lift the aircraft straight up. This reduces any net forces pitching the aircraft up or down, but for a number of reasons the two points are normally slightly separated and a small amount of force from the flight control surfaces is used to balance ...
