Lift acts on the wing primarily at the airfoil's upper surface, where the airflow is faster and pressure is lower, creating a pressure differential between the upper and lower surfaces. This difference in pressure generates an upward force that counteracts the weight of the aircraft. The distribution of lift can vary along the span of the wing, but it is generally concentrated near the leading edge and decreases toward the wingtip.
