  • @rambiro96 then thats not a plane.. thats a rocket

  • @rambiro96 You're right to a certain point, if you take a flat piece of wood and swing it without any AOA (Angle of Attack) it will droop to the ground. But if you ad an AOA to the board, Given fast enough rotation it will lift up. Angle of attack is required for flight to take place.

  • @rambiro96 The wing on the original Wright flyer was in fact a curved piece. The bottom was NOT flat at all. Oh, and it flew.

  • no, i'm sorry but I think that you have a slight misconception on how lift is produced...the airfoil shape does not have to be curved or even on an angle to create lift. Any plane could fly with a barn door if it had enough thrust, that is to say a big enough engine.Anyway nice vid

  • THANKS, THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT FOR THE WORLD

  • Would have been good if you went into how flaps and slats work to increase lift/slow the plane. Nonetheless, nice video.

  • good, but i think the "critical angle" should have been slightly more vertical

  • wonderful explanation. simple and informative

  • FRICKIN A!!
