Yes True, but rounding that curved surface makes the air speed up, causing a pressure drop... according to Bernoulli. It's only one...

Bernoulli's theorem describes the pressure changes as a fluid (air) flows over a curved surface. That happens any time the blimp is...

Bernoulli and Newton aren't in conflict; they're just different math to describe the same thing. If the aircraft is weightless but not...

It varies from state to state and road to road, from completely forbidden to anything goes. It also depends on the presence and/or...

When I crashed my Starduster the news reported it as a "Cessna-type bi-wing".

Formation gone bad, most likely. If you look at the photos it looks like one plane had a chewed up prop and the other had a chewed up tail.

In some cases (not necessarily the kind in this thread) it can work really well. In my case it was a called a B.E.L.T. For those that...

After the first flight in my new plane.

They were prescribing Ritalin to bored kids then too, but without today's computerized medical databases, lots of pilot applicants...

If you participate in online forums, come back and update the crowd as to your solution or resolution of problem.

And keep your radio on-- and listen to it-- if you're running up or doing other stuff while you're #1 for takeoff at an uncontrolled...

Wow. Not the first time a wealthy foreign student has discovered that daddy's money won't buy a pilot certificate in the US, but this...
