Oh thats unfortunate, because I am making some fictional paint schemes for my fictional nation
hello i have a question and im hoping that maybe on of you could help me understand.
- How does a symmetrical airfoil work
All right so I’m studying and taking notes trying to understand Bernoulli’s principal. So I know how asymmetrical wings work witch I will explain but a question still looms about how symmetrical wings work. So on asymmetrical wings they generate lift by the wind pressure airfoil. The airfoil on these types of wings is that the air on top flows faster over the top meaning the air on the bottom pushes up creating pressure giving the plane lift. Now on symmetrical wings they are the same on both sides, so I would imagine that the air flow over both sides would be the same, right? So then how does the symmetrical wing airfoil work?! I have herd allot about angle of attack and them being the same but I stil don’t understand… Help please
Symmetrical airfoils are not so much used for creating lift, but are for balance, as the air pressure is balanced on the top and bottom, so there is a net force of 0 which keeps the plane at the desired altitude.
ah ok! thank you your good at explain
Does anyone have any more of Airshipgirl's art?
