| Feb 11, 2018 at 20:38 | comment | added | Tom B. | This answer seems to highlight the fact that the situation can be analyzed from two completely different approaches: 1) Newton's laws of motion - i.e. the change in momentum of the air = lift. and 2) the difference in total force due to pressure on the top and bottom wings = lift. While both (1) and (2) are simple and intuitive, the REASONS for the difference in pressure in (2) are much less intuitive. | |
