Why Airplanes Fly - Voids Above A Planar Sheet

What you should imagine are pilots who risk their lives countless times
between wings that are proven to work being told to do experiments by
somebody who challenges proven technology and expects everybody to do
experiments just to indulge your accusation that basically everything they
know about aerodynamics is wrong.
But that would not be accurate.
It's more a matter of aggressive males who are highly insecure concerning
their ignorance of many things and try to conceal their ignorance with puerile
personal attacks. The only words they cannot utter are "I don't know."
It's sort of like an IT guy telling Marines how to fight a war. Probably
not going to get you invited to the NCO's club.
What about Marines telling IT guys how to program computers?
Don't take it personally. It just is. If you were the first person to come
in here and do it they'd probably go easier, but, alas, you're not.
No, that doesn't matter. The behavior is always the same, and it is as
predictable as clockwork, and as unavoidable as the tide.
If you have questions about aerodynamic science, perhaps you should first
ask those who use it on a regular basis rather than coming in an suggesting
their understanding of their area of expertise is deficient. Or AT least let
people know you're a pilot, builder or aerodynamics professional.
Using something is not the same as understanding it, as so many accidents in
aviation prove.
