Flight and Lift - How do airplane wings work?

To understand Bernoulli's principle, it helps to think of air as a bunch of tiny balls. Recently, I wrote about how it's possible to explain the... (2018)

Explore the physics of flight, and discover how aerodynamic lift generates the force needed for planes to fly.--By 1917, Albert Einstein had explai... (2023)

You can use Bernoulli's principle to explain how planes fly—but that isn't the only way. (2018)

Lift is an important concept, not only in flying but also in sailing. This week I'm talking to Olympic Sailor, Hunter Lowden. But before I get to t... (2018)

No one knows exactly how the nocturnal hunters manage their whisper-soft flight, yet it is inspiring the design of quieter airplanes, fans and wind... (2020)
