Best Answer

Any air pressure is sufficient, if you have enough area with that pressure applied. Foe example, you could lift a 10000 pound truck with 10000 psi, if you have one square inch being acted on; you could do it with 1 psi, if you had 69.5 square feet being acted on.

How much air pressure to lift a 1 kilo of object?

i will hurt is all i can say


Is there a greater or lesser air pressure on top of the wing when lift occurs?

There has to be lesser air pressure on the top of the wing to provide lift.


Lift is created by different air pressure?

Do you have to lift the car up before you pump up a tire when using an air compressor?

No, the air pressure will lift the car.


How does an airplane achieve lift?

The speed of air over and under the wings creates pressure which is lift.


How does air pressure affect lift on a kite?

They can both fly


Why is air pressure greater below the wing's surface?

It's not so much that the air pressure below a wing is greater as it is the pressure above it is less. The way a wing works, is the airfoil (shape of the wing) accelerates the air above the wing. Since the air is moving faster, it lowers the air pressure, resulting in a lower pressure above, and a higher(standard) pressure below, creating lift.


How much air should be put in air shocks?

Most of these require 5 psi minimum Then pressure up to level vehicle. Do not exceed maximum allowable pressure. (usually 60 psi)


What makes an airplane lift up into the air?

The air under the plane's wings exerts pressure.


How airplanes can fly in air in spite of being heavier than air?

The air pressure under the wings is greater that the pressure over the wings creating lift.


How does lift work for a plane or a bird?

Basically the lift of the plane works on the balanceness of air pressure. When the air pressure is made to build more below the plane and the air pressure on the upper part becomes less, then the plane gets a lift.


How the aeroplane flies without attract by grvitational force?

Planes are affected by gravity but the shape of their wings creates lift and when there is enough lift it overcomes the effect of gravity. Lift is generated because of the fact that faster moving air will be at a lower pressure than slower moving air. The shape of the wing causes the air flowing over the top to have to go further to meet back up with air which went under the wing. It therefore had to go faster and was at lower pressure. The higher pressure air underneath them pushed the wing up. That is lift. The faster the air the more the lift. Once an aircraft is travelling fast enough down a runway it gets to a point where the air over the wings is producing so much lift it overcomes the weight of the plane - that us when it can take off
