To all aviators,
Need some help here.
I'm trying to understand this concept on lift but i still can't understand the concept when they use flow of air against a moving cylinder. It's regarding the Magnus effect.
I think the whole point of using the cylinder theory is to prove that air flow to the top of the wing has a higher velocity. But how do i visualize it with a moving cylinder and a moving liquid?
Pardon me, this isn't a very technical ques.
