ryoder 1,590 #4 April 10, 2011 Quote Anyone that thinks lift is not associated with Bernoulli's principle should read section 3. There is lots of faulty information floating around. Example: AOPA's "Flight Training" magazine, issue 05.11 (current), page 13, "Dihedral". QuoteThe dihedral effect is easy to understand when you think of an airplane in a bank. Imagine you are flying a left turn. Because both wings are bolted onto the fuselage at an angle, the left wing will have a higher angle of attack than the right wing. And as a result it will be producing more lift."There are only three things of value: younger women, faster airplanes, and bigger crocodiles" - Arthur Jones.

The many people who think its just due to molecules bouncing off the lower surface of the wing.... The only sure way to survive a canopy collision is not to have one.

csubl 0 #7 April 11, 2011 Here's a link to a good description of the contributions of work done by Bernoulli and Newton as it relates to the analysis of lift: http://www.grc.nasa.gov/WWW/K-12/airplane/bernnew.html Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
