Airplane Pilot's As Physicists

I read last night in another piloting book, again, that the common belief
about the dynamics of airfoils is wrong,

Yeah? Which one?

I'm dramatically more inclined to believe the physics
of the engineers who actually proved their worth by designed airplanes
than
some usenet-know-it-all.

Who said your textbooks are right?

No kidding. I mean, HOW DO I KNOW THE AIRPLANE I'M FLYING ACTUALLY FLIES?!


How do you determine that your textbook is right and the others are wrong?

Why do you repeatedly snip the bits about Kelly Johnson, the SR-71, etc?

E6B, EB-6...this has little to do with my original question.

It shows your lack of understanding of the subject matter and your lack of
attention to detail. As I told you before, physics is an exact science.
If you're unable to properly name the hammer, you're not going to convince
anybody you're a useful carpenter.
