Backwash Causes Lift?
Le Chaud Lapin wrote: If you don't like the concept that the top of the wing is being sucked upward by that lower pressure It is not a matter of whether I like it or not. It is something that simply does not happen. There is no sucking force. then think of it this way. Imagine a cross- section of the wing. The top surface of the wing forms a line. The air just above this line has lower pressure. The air below this line (inside the wing) has normal pressure. So the air below the line is pressing upward against it with more force than the air above is pressing down. I think you mis-understood me here. When I say the air below the line is pressing upward, I am not referring to the air pressing upward on the bottom of the wing. I am referring to the air _inside_ the wing pressing upward on the underside of the top surface of the wing. The air above the wing top surface has lower than normal pressure. The air inside the wing has normal pressure. So it presses upward on the top surface of the wing. This is lift generated by the top surface of the wing. Phil |

Hmm...please don't take this the wrong way, I can assure I don't mean it as an insult, but what do you do for a living and what is your technical bacground (math, physics, etc.) if you don't mind my asking? If air inside the wing pushes upward on the underside of the top of the wing, it also pushes downward on the overside of the bottom of the wing, thus nullifying any effect of the air inside the wing. -Le Chaud Lapin- |

I got as thousand nopes in my pocket waiting. Bertie Some of the stuff he posts would simply be hilarious were it not for those taking him on in vain attempts to straighten him out. The threads involving all these elaborate counter explanations to the drivel he posts just amaze me. You're right; "nope" is absolutely the way to go with him and those like him. I've been watching some of these folks who are right on in the physics department taking on this hot rabbit character on the lift issue. Why the living hell anyone in their right mind would take the time to deal with this from a serious standpoint is beyond my level of comprehension. I've never seen so much utter bull**** in my life on a serious flying forum. The complete information about lift including all the corrections for the misuse of Bernoulli in some of the texts are so readily available a 5 year old child could both find and understand them. Yet it goes on....and on......and on! Anyway, it's entertaining if nothing else! Yup.........definitely....."Nope" is the way to go. :-)) -- Dudley Henriques |
