why does air travel faster over the top of the aerofoil than the bottom?
I know it is related to the pressure differences but why does the air actually travel faster? please no answers containing the 'equal transit time' or 'venturi nozzel' theories- Does it really? I remember the old argument that the air had to travel a longer distance over the top curved part of the airfoil in order to meet up with the air that had traveled along the bottom, so the air had to go faster over the top part, leading to lower pressure there and therefore lift. Then I read arguments that said this was a fraudulent argument. The most convincing one was that planes can fly upside down. There's clearly lift then in the 'wrong' direction! Right now I am most satisfied by the simple idea that the angle of attack of the wing deflects air downward and then the wing receives an upward impulse as a result. Newton's 3rd law makes me happy. I know I haven't answered your question. Sorry
- It has to cover a greater distance in the same time span than the air below the leading edge
- have you observed when you dip a thin gl tube in a beaker of water what happens? water rises in the inner end of the tubes right? what force pushes the water up? its the same force that will drive the air faster. if you wanna know how that force is generated then you have to learn the 'equal transit time' or 'venturi nozzel' theories, which you do not want!
- here's why: the density of air IN FRONT of the wing is the same as the density at BACK. the path length over the top is, however, much longer than by the bottom, so air finding itself distributed to the top has to travel much FASTER to meet its bottom - travelling counterpart again at the back
- first of all you should know that pressure differnce is the result of this effect. so one can't explain this effect by pressure. ok? we know that the density of air is constant below 1 mach. if some molecules of air hit the wings they will be sepreted. some of them will go through the upper surface of wing and some thrugh the downer. since the length of the down is less than the upper surface because of the curve the upper molecules should go faster to make the velocity be constant after they quit the wing

How do i find a good deal on cruise trips?And does it include air travel or is it a different price?
cruise prices do not include air. it would be hard to do that as people come from all over the world so the costs would be different for everyone. to get the best deal, work with a reliable cruise spe t such as those at cruises inc. , or cruise (air travel)

i have often wondered how many of the world's population are in transit in the air at any one time!. it is less than 0. 00000001%. not sure about the entire world, but i read somewhere that at any given moment, 61, 000 people are airborne over the united states. (charter air travel)
Are there any precautions taken with air travel during meteor showers?
known meteor showers come during the year. it is unlikely one would fall to the earth - thus through the entire atmosphere - but how many might? is there any substantial risk to air travel because of this?. absolutely not. meteors burn up long before they get to plane al (charter air travel)
