Hi, folks,
Today in my intro physics class we did "Bernoulli's Principle". Next class (Wednesday), I want to give them a lecture on the "physics of flight". Looking for the following:
--video of an aerobatic plane (or fighter jet) flying upside down for a prolonged period of time
--video of "downwash" from a big jet over clouds (I know I've seen this one somewhere...)
--animation of air molecules going over a wing (I know I've seen this one too, but can't remember where)
--video of wind-tunnel tests depicting something cool (like turbulence just before a stall)
--photos: cross-section of a wing, and an aerobatic wing for comparison
--a short (1-2 page) article on angle of attack and lift, suitable for handing out
--similar video for sailboat sails?
--anything else you think might be cool for a physics student to see (they especially like animations and things that move!)
Thanks in advance!
