External Flow: Lift and Drag

8,281 12ocketguy  2.6 years ago

Alright nerds, time to educated...

A little about me, I am a student at Embry Riddle Aeronautical University Prescott studying Mechanical Engineering: Propulsion. I highly recommend the campus.

Anyways, something all Aerospace Engineers must understand is the study of Fluids (Air is a fluid). So that is what I'm going to do.

So sit down, get out your pen and paper and prepare to fall asleep during this lecture.

Feel free to ask me any questions, I'd love to try to answer them if I can, and I hope you'd learn something.

    Yes, even sp airplanes (mostly) have wings, but... but hey, you're gold, don't you know how sp physics works already?
    For wings it isn't even VLM, it's just fixed function.
    Other parts have sort of shading but it doesn't affects force produced by wings, props etc.

    @11qazxc you're right. Airplanes don't have wings.

    One important thing: it have nothing to do with sp.
