Source sentences:
text: A fixed-wing aircraft is a flying machine, such as an airplane (or aeroplane; see spelling differences), which is capable of flight using wings that generate lift caused by the aircraft's forward airspeed and the shape of the wings.
text: The wings on a glider have to produce enough lift to balance the weight of the glider.
text: When the aircraft travels forwards, air flows over the wings which are shaped to create lift.
text: It is this “relative wind” or air movement over the wings which creates the “lift” that supports an aircraft against the pull of gravity.
text: Wings generate lift owing to the motion of air around the wing.
text: By using the flaps and ailerons in various ways it is possible to dynamically change the way the wing generates lift, and thus the glider's flight performance can be changed.
text: If the glider flies fast enough the wings will produce enough lift to keep it in the air.
