vertical lift
Rise without angle
Vertical lift refers to upward force or movement perpendicular to the ground.
In aviation and engineering, it describes the ability to rise straight up without forward motion: The aircraft has vertical lift capability.
A vertical lift bridge raises its span straight up between towers rather than swinging or drawing apart.
The term also appears in fitness contexts for exercises involving upward pulling or pressing movements.
