For example, when fluid passes over a solid body, the streamlines get closer together, the flow velocity increases, and the pressure decreases. Airfoils are designed so that the flow over the top ...

As air flows around the airfoil, it creates pressure – a force spread out over a large area. Lower pressure is created on the ...

Humanity has long been obsessed with heavier-than-air flight, and to this day it remains a topic that is shrouded in a bit of mystery. In this video we take a detailed look at lift, starting with how ...
