Airflow over the upper surface of the wing generally
- flows toward the tip.
- flows towards the root.
- flows chordwise from leading to trailing edge.
Jordi asking:
why not towards the tip?

why? someone could explain ? its because the effect of induced drag ? so the airflow flows from the downside of the wings trough the tip and than it goes towards the root? help

yeah exactly. if you imagine the movement of the air vortex at the wing tip, it causes a movement of air from the bottom surface to the upper surface of the wing; directly it causes air from the bottom to move towards the tip and air on the top to move towards the root.
