My "guess" is no... but, I don't know much about airplanes.
I only know how lift is produced on helicopters.
I don't know if this will help... but, maybe you can figure it out by applying this to an airplane taking off??
A helicopter in flight is acted upon by 4 basic forces:
lift, gravity, thrust, and drag
Lift is the upward acting force. Gravity (or weight) is the downward acting force. Thrust is used the control direction of movement. Drag is the retarding force produced by air resistance.
Lift apposes weight and thrust opposes drag.
When a helicopter is in straight and level flight or a stabilized hover, the opposing forces balance each other.
Lift = Weight
Thrust = Drag.
Any inequality between thrust and drag while maintaing flight will result in acceleration or deceleration until the 2 forces are balanced again.
Lift comes from Bernaouli's Principle. This is relationship between pressure, fluid flow velocity and the potential energy of fluids (liquid and gases). As the velocity of the fluid increases, the pressure in the fluid decreases. As the velocity of the fluid decreases, the pressure in the fluid increases.
An example of Bernoulli's Principle is the venturi tube. It is a tube that is narrower in the middle than at the ends. As air passed through the tube, it speeds up as it reaches the narrow portion and slows down again as it passes through the narrow part.
Berrnoulli's Principle led to the creation of an airfoil.
Helicopter blades with an airfoil shape are used to create a pressure differential in the air.
An airfoil is any shape which is designed to produce lift. An airfoil has a leading edge, trailing edge, chord, and camber.
LEADING EDGE
The leading edge is the part of the airfoil that first meets the oncoming air.
TRAILING EDGE
The trailing edge is the aft end of the blade where the airflow over the upper surface joins the airflow over the lower surface.
CHORD LINE
The cord line is an imaginary straight line drawn from the leading edge to the trailing edge. The line has significance only in determing the rotor blade angle of attack.
CAMBER
The camber of an airfoil is the curvature of its upper (upper camber) and lower (lower camber) surfaces.
So, according to Bernouli's principle...
As there is an acceleration or increase in the velocity of the air as it flows around an airfoil shape, there is an acceleration of the relative wind as it flows above and below the surface of the rotor blade.
As air flows over the upper surface of the rotor blade, the curvature of the airfoil causes the speed of the airflow to increase. This increase in speed over the rotor blade causes a decrease in the presure over the airfoil.
At the same time, the relative wind hits the lower surface of the rotor blade which increase pressure.
As a result of the decreased pressure above the rotor blade and increased pressure below the blade, the upward force of lift is produced. Lift is generated across the entire rotor disc as it rotates.
(I wish I had a chalkboard so that I could draw you pictures while explaining this. It is hard to understand in just words.)
The question is... how does this apply to airplanes????
