Episode #33 - Lift

We are now deep into the midst of the fundamentals of aerodynamics as we focus solely on the concept of Lift... aka how airplanes fly. If you missed the last episode where we covered the first lessons of Section 7, please go check it out on the Forces of Flight and Axes of Rotation. In this episode we tell you how lift is created, what contributes to lift and what factors can increase or decrease lift. We even explain how airplanes are able to turn by explaining the concept of the lift vector and the horizontal lift component which will be asked on the FAA Written exam!
