Is lift is generated due to large pressure gradients on the upper side of the airfoil?(a) True(b) FalseI have been asked this question during an interview for a job.Question is taken from Viscous Flow topic in section Incompressible Flow over Airfoils of Aerodynamics

Answer»

The correct choice is (a) True

Best explanation: At higher angles, very large adverse pressure gradients that develop on the upper side as the airfoil attempts to GENERATE more lift causes the BOUNDARY layer to SEPARATE, leading to a major DISRUPTION of the FLOW over the airfoil and the wing stalls.
