The book: “UNDERSTANDING FLIGHT” by Anderson & Eberhardt (2010) confirms the core ideas of the dynamic buoyancy argument. Cahpter 1:
“ ..... lift is generated by the wing diverting air down .....”
“...... the lift of a wing is proportional
to the amount of air diverted (down). “...
OK; thanks for the responses - this is similar to what I hear elsewhere. Let me try something new: Planes fly for the same physics as why boats float; buoyancy. By pushing air (or water) downwards equal to their own mass. Same as why birds fly. I haven't heard this anywhere else before, but no...
Does anyone know why planes fly? I counted 11 Theories of Flight and there doesn't seem to be any proof for any of these theories. Like a real experiment on a real aircraft using the scientific method?
All I get is equations (Navier-Stokes) when i ask an engineer or professor; which isn't...
