Default Why Airplanes Fly - Voids Above A Planar Sheet

Hey, I found it: It's under the thread "John Travolta Sues His Home
Airport" circa August 10.

The person's exact words were "Camber does not produce lift" and he quoted
a NASA site that contradicted him. He also said
"Many pilots don't understand that angle of attack is everything. That's
why many of them get into trouble in unusual situations. "

I'll give you guys ONE guess who that person was, and you probably don't
need a hint, but he's undoubtedly the most accomplished Flight Simulator
pilot on the newsgroup.


Bingo. As I said, even without proof, it is obvious.

Anyone else notice that the increase of the chad's posts were directly
inversely proportional to MX's?

Doesn't take a rocket scientist.
