Similar errors are in airplane pilot flight manuals, and believed whole heartedly by pilots.

- n00b101 10y agoI think a convincing refutation of the Bernoulli effect as an explanation of flight is the fact that some aircraft have symmetrical airfoils and can fly upside down. This is a less convincing argument to sailors whose boats don't usually sail very well upside down :)
- flukus 10y agoIsn't sailing into the wind the equivalent?
- oerpli 10y agoThough I learned in my "Physics of Sailing" course that it would be technically possible to sail with the current instead of the wind by putting the boat upside down in the water. I had the impression that this was the epitome of the way of thinking thought in a physics degree.
