11 (a) Aerofoil 1
(b) (i) - The shape of cross section of wing causes speed of airflow 1
above wing higher than speed of airflow below wing

- When speed of airflow is high, the lower pressure is 1

produced

- Hence, air pressure below the wing higher compare to above 1

the wing

(c)
Characteristics Explanation
Aerofoil shape To produce high speed of
airflow above wing 2

Large area of wing To produce larger lift force 2

Less density More upward/ lift force/
less weight 2
High difference in speed of High difference in pressure
