Insights How Does an Airplane Wing Work: a Primer on Lift - Comments
I am not talking about the difference in time between the top of the chorde and the bottom. I am simply talking about the amount of time in general. The relationship to the top of the airfoil with the bottom of the airfoil is irrelevant. Without relation of one side of the airfoil to the...- Ironmanlet

so if an airfoil (greater distance) moves through the air, the air molecules on either side of the airfoil take a different amount of time to travel that greater distance than if there was not an airfoil (greater distance) passing through the air? That would either one, make a vacuum in our...- Ironmanlet

there has to be a change in speed. Even at flat pitch for a symmetrical airfoil, the air is moving a greater distance at the same time. Seeing as how Speed is a function of time and distance, if distance increases but time remains constant, the speed must change. It does not matter that the...- Ironmanlet

at 1:37 this dude literally takes off upside down and at 2:06 he simply hovers upside for a large amount of time. I am no genius, but in my mind, there is no way he can do that without negative pitch in the blades. Even if it is not a result of just bernoulli but also Newton, there has to be...- Ironmanlet

Agreed with Bone here. You can easily engineer an airfoil to exceed below flat pitch into negative pitch. I have never used a remote control helicopter, but I am sure most of them fly upside down easily by being able to do this. (the pitch angle of my rotor blades on my actual helicopter does...- Ironmanlet

Best sub-forum to discuss aerodynamics?
and principles that associate with aerodynamics, aeronautics, etc. I mean, we could discuss it to a degree in physics, a degree in math and a degree in engineering. or just the lounge. LOL Edit: just found some in Engineering.- Ironmanlet

What is the most significant site for exploring knowledge?
Lol, thanks. I promise I will be able to get a grip and contribute where I can, but most of all learn from everyone else. Thanks Lisa.- Ironmanlet

What can a newcomer to astronomy bring to the table?
awesome. Thanks for sharing. I was there for initial rotary wing flight training from Nov 2013 to about Jul 2015. I love it because of how technical it is. Not just about physically flying, but mental aspects as well. Like you are for familiar with yourself, we have know how all of the...- Ironmanlet

Are you a pilot Gianni? Just guessing since you have the attitude indicator as your profile pic. Glad you are here.- Ironmanlet

High School Difference between Cosmology and Astronomy
Nature does not care about how we define our sciences or what words we use to describe them. (despite the fact we distinguish them, thanks for your input Nantes). How can you discuss the nuclear fusion process in a star without chemistry? The only reason I am familiar with the periodic table...- Ironmanlet
