profpilot.co.uk | #2 How Lift is Created

roy — Fri, 06 Nov 2009 09:14:10 +0000

http://www.profpilot.co.uk | Version 2.0 of video 2.0 in the profpilot.co.uk flight training video series. Although you might notice a couple of similar pictures, this video is a completely new one so please watch again!

Episode 2 shows the principles behind how a wing works (thanks to Newton and Bernoulli), and how an aerofoil creates lift, which is quite a helpful force to have when it comes to aeroplanes.
