Alrighty,
I'm down at the FAA academy and had an argument with another student today about lift.
Here it goes.
We have one of those balsa wood airplanes with the rubber band and little propeller.
Anyways, he insists that the flat wing of that little plane produces lift. I know it doesnt because it has absolutly no practical airfoil. The wing is flat and symetrical.
Anyways, he said not to argue cause he has an enginering degree....evidently my aerosci degree from riddle means nothing to him.
How can i prove that **CENSORED****CENSORED****CENSORED****CENSORED** thing doesn't produce lift. I should let it go but he kept insisting and making the comment that its okay that he knew i was wrong. little things that piss me off.
