Lift升力
Lift is the aerodynamic force generated by an airfoil or rotor that acts perpendicular to the oncoming airflow and opposes the aircraft’s weight; it is one of the four primary forces acting on an aircraft. In aerospace documentation, it appears in aerodynamic theory sections, performance manuals, flight test data, and training materials where angle of attack, stall, wing design, and lift-to-drag ratio are discussed.

Where this term appears
Translators encounter lift in aerodynamic training courses, aircraft performance manuals, flight test reports, pilot training documents, and UAV design specifications. Terms such as 'lift coefficient,' 'lift-to-drag ratio,' 'lift distribution,' and 'ground effect' must be handled with fixed equivalents, and the generic meaning 'elevator' must be avoided in aircraft performance contexts.
Translation checks
The most common error is translating lift as 'lifting force' or 'elevator,' which is ambiguous in technical documents. Europeanized constructions such as 'the generation of lift is based on pressure difference' should be simplified to direct Chinese, for example '升力来自上下表面压差.' Overly literal renderings reduce readability in training and flight manual content.
Keep the term aligned across your files
Check procedure sequence, part names, limits and cautions against the supplied references. Applicable aviation or market requirements depend on the product and project pathway.
Provide approved terms and previous translations with the source files. Agree how variants, ambiguous wording and revisions will be reviewed. Terminology maintenance and any termbase handback are confirmed in the project scope. See the 8-step AI + expert workflow.
