How airplanes fly, simply explained in 30 seconds!
#shorts #airplane #aviation
DISCLAIMER: This is a very simplified principle behind flight. There is much more that goes into an airplane flying. The purpose of the video is to give a general idea of one of the main concepts behind flight.

No. The main reason is that the wing pushes the air down. The counterforce pushes the wing up. Edit: This is the explanation of Wolfgang Langewiesche.

@LuxPlanes 3 ай бұрын

Well, this is actually quite a touchy subject. Some people say that some lift is created by downwash thanks to newton's third law and some say it's created by the pressure difference. Some say it's a mix of the two. Others say these are just 2 ways of computing and understanding total lift on a wing. The difference in pressure is generally the most common description and understanding of how an airplane creates lift so I chose to present it this way. However, I might make another video explaining downwash and how that can be used to understand lift on a wing. Hope that helps!

@StopaclotionA320 3 ай бұрын

@@LuxPlanesAh, thanks for the reply. It is no doubt true that what you say in the video is true, I just wrote this comment because the book 'Stick and Rudder' by Wolfgang Langewiesche explains how planes fly and says this is the main reason for lift. It is a really good book on not just how planes fly, but on how to fly them. Despite it being from the 1940's it's still very accurate today. It has 250000 copies in print and I do recommend it. I'm not 100% sure what the real reason is, but it is a really interesting topic and probably all the factors mentioned by him and Bernoulli are the reason planes fly, however I think the explanation of Wofgang makes most sense. I think it's a great idea to add the downwash theory into one of your videos. Good luck!

No you are wrong its both the you can test it by taking a narrow sheet of paper putting it under your lips then blowing harder over it. What will happen is the paper will flow up as there is a low pressure zone above it and there is no change in air pressure below it. However most lift is generated this way depending on speed and the attitude/speed the airfoil is design to work at. For commercial airlines generall you can say its both methods but for military aircraft that are designed to fly at higher speeds its the method you explain. This is the reason why aircraft like the SR-71 or F-16 have generally mostly flat airfoils that look the can almost be perfectly mirrored from top to bottom

For people who don’t understand still. Basically it works the same way as pouring water in a cup, if you pour water with a glass cup it will run backwards along the edge of the cup if positioned at the correct angle. An airplanes wing works the same way, the air moves along the wing and is thrown down instead of back the same way the water is thrown down instead of going where you are pouring

Isn't this mechanic largely insignificant in comparison to the lift that comes from the low pressure air flowing downwards after contact with the wing

@mindplanes 3 ай бұрын

All correct, but what makes a plane lift is the elevator on the back wing. This forces the aircraft down from the back, lifting the front

@LuxPlanes 3 ай бұрын

Yes, thats partially correct, the elevator does control the pitch which assists the airplane to get airborne thanks to the rotation. However, with enough speed the wings will create enough lift to take off without even pitching up :) hope that helps!

@defender1238 Ай бұрын

You forgot the air resistance which slows the plane down

@ultra_01 Ай бұрын

the force of lift can be increased when the flaps on the wings are down (usually in takeoff and landing) creating more pressure on the bottom of the wing and increasing the pressure gradient from the bottom to the top of the wing, resulting in more lift; this allows the plane to stay in the air at lower airspeeds even more upward force can be generated when you pull the yoke/joystick, the flaps on the horizontal stabilisers at the back move upward, creating more pressure at the top compared to the bottom of the horizontal stabilisers, resulting in the rear of the plane pointing downwards and the nose pointing upwards, this adjusts the angle of attack of the engines (which generates thrust), changing the trajectory of the thrust force to a more upward direction
