Mazzy,

Thanks for that, my point exactly, I don't think I would have many students left if I started lecturing Kutta thoery or Navier stokes equations.

I should correct myself, Bernouillis principles are not flawed, it is the explanation used in ppl/ATPL texts to explain how these lead to wing lift that are flawed.

Theresalwaysone,

I would suggest that you read one the trevor thom technical book or any similar ppl level technical text ( even your cpl/atpl technical notes), then read Barnard and Philpotts Aircraft Flight (it is a non mathematical text), you will soon see what I am referring too.
