    Aerodynamics Basics

    • The primary focus of basic aerodynamics is the study of the interaction between air and solid objects, such as aircraft, rockets, and cars.

    Lift Generation

    • The shape of the airfoil, specifically its curved upper surface and flat lower surface, is crucial in determining the lift generated by an aircraft wing.
    • Lift is created by the difference in air pressure above and below the wing, with lower pressure above and higher pressure below.

    Wind Tunnel Purpose

    • A wind tunnel is used to test and measure the aerodynamic properties of an object, such as lift, drag, and airflow, in a controlled environment.
