Abstract
- The article offers information on the enigma of the aerodynamic lift and also discusses why planes stay in air. Topics discussed include what generates the aerodynamic force known as lift; views of John D. Anderson, Junior curator of aerodynamics at the National Air and Space Museum, on issue; and also mentions that the Bernoulli's theorem attempts to explain lift as a consequence of the curved upper surface of an airfoil, the technical name for an airplane wing.
