KurtagagWhat was a fact taught to you in school that has been proven false during your lifetime?
𝘋𝘪𝘳𝘬How planes generate lift.
Did they finally find that out? Last time I checked even PhDs in aerospace engineering still added “we think” at the end of their explanations.
NASA has a webpage on aeronautics that says lift is the mechanical force created by a solid object turning a flow of liquid or gas. They also have an equation for calculating lift for any solid object/fluid combo.
