I really appreciate all the replies, but I'm having a bit of a hard time understanding.
Initially, I had the idea that the Bernoulli effect and the Newton action-reaction force were two separate effects, and that both of them add up to produce the total lift for an aircraft.
And thus, my...
There is a simulator of an airfoil in flight on a NASA website.

It gives readings of the velocity of air at any point around the wing.
Hi everyone,
I read on a website that the Bernoulli's expression can be applied to airplane wings by using the equation:
Difference in pressure above and below wing
= 1/2 x air density x [(airflow velocity below wing)^2 - (airflow velocity above wing)^2]
I tried using it but the...

Lift ! (airplanes)
Hello,
I am writing a research paper about the lift generated by the wings of an airplane.
It is about the extent to which the Bernoulli effect and Newton's laws each contribute to creating lift.
I planned on calculating the actual value of the lift generated by each...
Which colleges are well known for having good engineering, physics programs?
I'm going to be a senior in high school and I really love physics but I don't think I can get into the top notch universities like Stanford, Caltech, etc. My SAT scores aren't too good (reasoning: 1970, mathII: 700...
Hello, this question is about lift in fixed wing flight (airplanes).
Is it possible to calculate separately the lift generated by:
- Newton's laws (wings deflecting air particles)
- Bernoulli effect (difference in air pressure above and below the wings caused by the shape of the...
