Atmospheric aerodynamics should be separated from any experimental wind tunnel aerodynamics. There’s a fundamental difference between real world flight conditions compared to what happens in a wind tunnel during experiments. The reason to make this distinction is simple but very solid. All aircraft fly in real atmosphere with stagnant air mass. The air in a wind tunnel is moving and has momentum. The physics therefore of atmospheric and experimental aerodynamics is totally different.
Addressing this total lack of insight, here is a brief but radical treatise, intended to accurately and definitively describe and completely demystify the exact process by which aircraft manage to fly in the real world. It’s undoubtedly a tangential departure from the present science and it may very well upset the gurus, but that never was the intended outcome. Flight will be now looked upon from well founded ideas on scientific basis, rather than random conjectural hypothesis.
As if the word “aerodynamics” wasn’t a misnomer enough by itself, no other field of science and technology has a worst system of naming things as aerodynamics. This simple fact is responsible for the 100-year delay in understanding lift. So what do we mean by the misnomers of aerodynamics, and how have they mislead brilliant […]
In our last post on nacelle strake vortices, the Zone Theory of Lift was proven beyond any doubts, as the vortices showed the existence of the pressure zones. In this post we analyze the curious behaviour of these strake vortices, and the path they take over the wing after formation at the nacelle strakes of […]
Einstein Failed ?… hard to believe, but its true. Its certainly not an over-statement to say that the reason why mystery of lift remained unsolved for more then a century, is due solely, to the collective failure of the scientists, both past and present. It came as nothing less then a sheer surprise, rather bit […]
Are flying fish nature’s oddity or a statement ? Once again another convincing proof of the Zone Theory of Lift comes from nature itself. This time from flying fish and how they do it. The flying performance of the flying fish is shown in images below, and what’s even more impressive is that they get […]
In the course of last century and even today, aerodynamics “experts” take pride in revolving around scientific principles of Bernoulli and Newton as they explain how lift is produced by the airfoil. It is heard that even Einstein designed a wing, which failed disastrously, due to a lack of insight into airfoil behavior. Einstein used […]
The basic mistake being made by scientists, constantly for over a century now, and reason why uptill now, no one could explain how an airfoil produces lift, is the use of wrong science to understand its origins. In order to understand lift we have to apply science of aerostatics not aerodynamics. The scientist admit their […]
Nacelle Strake Vortices – The Irrefutable Proof of Zone Theory of Lift. Nacelle strakes are located on the front cowlings or nacelles of all modern jet engines, and create vortices that become visible in favourable atmospheric conditions. The paths of these nacelle strake vortices flawlessly give away the physical form of the pressure zones (Fig-3 […]
Two typical airfoils are shown below, one from a bird wing and the other from an aircraft wing. In engineering we are used to designing parts having very well defined and precise shapes, which are supposed to perform the desired function. But when it comes to the beauty called the airfoil, we see it breaks […]
Throw away your text books and stop watching misleading Youtube videos on how lift is generated by an airfoil. Everything you were told about how aircraft fly is Wrong! As much as it’s talked about in terms of mathematics and engineering, to make it look like so; Aerodynamics is not at all a science, It’s […]
