IIRC I was required to regurgitate this wrong answer to pass my FAA pilot exam.
- CPLX 1y agoYeah me too, so it's found in many authoritative places. And I might be wrong but my understanding is that it's not wrong per-se, it's just wildly incomplete. Which, is kind of like the same as wrong. But I believe the airfoil design does indeed have the effect described which does contribute to lift somewhat right? Or am I just a victim of the misconception.
- NelsonMinar 1y agoI've always wondered if the acrobatic exams require repeating the same wrong answer. Obviously planes can't fly upside down.
- carabiner 1y agoYeah, it's like asking a car driver (even a professional driver) to explain the Otto cycle. Enduser vs. engineer.
