| THE SCIENCE BEHIND FLIGHT - THE TAKEOFF PHASE OF FLIGHT | ||
So, what do Bernoulli’s findings have to do with flying? Since air motion behaves similar to that of water, we can apply his significant findings to understand the force of lift related to aircraft flight. Take a look at the graphic to the right. The point of least pressure in the tube is at the narrowest point of the tube. As the air speeds up to squeeze through the narrow section, it can not press outwards as much. So the pressure is lower where the air is moving faster. |
