Answer:

Airplanes' wings are curved on top and flatter on the bottom. That shape makes air flow over the top faster than under the bottom. As a result, less air pressure is on top of the wing. This lower pressure makes the wing, and the airplane it's attached to, move up.

Answer:

Thermal resistance for a wall depends on the material, the thickness of the wall and the cross-section area.

Explanation:

Current flow and heat flow are very similar when we are talking about 1-dimensional energy transfer. Attached you can see a picture we can use to describe the heat flow between the ends of the wall. First of all, a temperature difference is required to flow heat from one side to the other, just like voltage is required for current flow. You can also see that $R_{th}$ represents the thermal resistance. The next image explains more about the parameters which define the value of the thermal resistances which are the following:

Wall Thickness. More thickness, more thermal resistance.
Material thermal conductivity (unique value for each material). More conductivity, less thermal resistance.
Cross-section Area. More cross-section area, less thermal resistance.

A expression to define the thermal resistance for the wall is as follows: $R_{th} =\frac{l}{Ak}$ , where l is the distance between the tow sides of the wall, that is to say the wall thickness; A is the cross-section area and k is the material conducitivity.
