Thanks for the link Dick,
That page nicely describes the basic physics behind lift with reference to the most basic laws. It's nice to know that wannabees are becoming more aware of the science behind flight, rather than relying on a 'magical' theory that only works until you actually start thinking about it.
I still find it funny that throughout my education at the beginning of every new step (i.e. GCSE, A-levels, Degrees) the first thing that you are told is that everything you learnt for the last step was kind of a lie or gross oversimplification!
I wonder if we reach some point in the future where the impact of the Bernoulli effect is played down in favour of real physics in the PPL texts?
Cheers,
Gareth.
