The physics of flight: the airfoil #Physics @BCiechanowski
Bartosz Ciechanowski investigates what makes airplanes fly by looking at the forces generated by the flow of air around the aircraft’s wings. More specifically, a focus on the cross section of those wings to reveal the shape of an airfoil (Wikipedia).
We’ll find out how the shape and the orientation of the airfoil helps airplanes remain airborne. We’ll also learn about the behavior and properties of air and other flowing matter.
We’ll build some intuitions for why different effects happen to airfoils and other objects placed in flowing air.
A large number of interactive are embedded in the text.
