... and their lower surfaces are flatter. This shape is what works with the fluid motion of the air to create lift. As air moves around a wing, some goes over the top and some goes underneath. The air that goes over the curved upper surface undergoes two important changes: it is reduced in pressure (by ...

Propeller (aeronautics)
An aircraft propeller or airscrew converts rotary motion from a piston engine, a turboprop or an electric motor, to provide propulsive force. Its pitch may be fixed or variable. Early aircraft propellers were carved by hand from solid or laminated wood, while later propellers were constructed of metal. Modern designs use high-technology composite materials.The propeller attaches to the crankshaft of a piston engine, either directly or through a reduction unit. A light aircraft engine may not require the complexity of gearing, which is essential on a larger engine or on a turboprop aircraft.
