Airplane Pilot's As Physicists
Barry Schiff, in "The Proficient Pilot", "An AOPA Book", writes on
page 2:
"There is, for example, this amusing fable: "Air flowing above the
wing has a greater distance to travel (because of camber) than air
flowing beneath the wing. Therefore, air above the wing must travel
faster so as to arrive at the wing's trailing edge at the same time as
air flowing underneath. This is pure nonsense."
Like I said. Upper camber is a conspiracy by the aluminum manufacturers to
sell more metal... Bournoulli was a shill.
