Reducing lift gives the wheels more traction as the plane's weight settles on them.

The aerodynamic package adds a carbon fibre front splitter and rear wing, which together reduce lift by up to 45%.

Ice and airplanes are a lethal mixture, for ice can disrupt the air flow across a wing's surface, significantly reducing lift.

Excessive ice on wings reduces lift, sometimes to the point of causing a plane to crash.

In addition, if the buildup of ice reduced lift in one wing more than the other, the autopilot would silently compensate.

By reducing drag and increasing lift, the fins give board riders the velocity they need to catch waves.

During the 1967 season, the car appeared with small winglets on the nose, to further reduce lift acting at the front of the car.

To combat this, the CSR has several features that reduce lift by 50%.

Evidence from pilots and technical findings shows that the spoilers failed to reduce lift and thus reduced braking capacity.

Secondly, the warmer air reduced aerodynamic lift, rendering the Farmans unable to take off on some occasions.
