Comment on How Airplanes Fly: A Physical Description of Liftparent

Comments

Those are excellent articles. I am going to add that when working with paper airplanes with cambered airfoils, (a hobby of mine), I have observed very interesting floor and ceiling effects which can only be attributed to vortexes.

I would add that real wings clearly rely on vortexes to fly, and that this is readily observable.
