The Efficient Engineer - Fluid Mechanics - Understanding Aerodynamic Lift 09022021

This video looks at lift, starting with how it is linked with the pressure distribution around airfoils. A few explanations of lift are considered, including the Bernoulli Principle and Newton's Third Law explanations. Other key aspects of lift are consdired such as Circulation and the Kutta condition. Also, how the lift force varies with the angle of attack of the airfoil (which explains why aerobatic aircraft use symmetrical airfoils), and how stalling can result in a dangerous loss of lift
