38. The Airfoil Misconception in K-6 Textbooks
- www.amasci.com
- Airfoil Lifting Force Misconception.
- The popular explanation, PATH-LENGTH or AIRFOIL-SHAPE: wings do not deflect air, instead they are sucked upwards because the "airfoil" shape has a longer surface on top. ...
- The misleading "popular" or "airfoil-shape" explanation commonly appears in children's science books, magazine articles, and in pilot's textbooks. ...
- These mistakes change the popular "airfoil-shape" explanation into a system of misconceptions. ...
- Also, those who firmly adhere to the popular explanation have been successful in convincing many authors that there can only be a single best method for explaining aerodynamic lift, and that the "Airfoil-shape" method is far better than the "Attack-angle" method. ... On the other hand, the "Airfoil Shape" explanation is less intuitive, yet it dovetails very well with lifting force calculations, so it is very useful in mathematical modeling, for physics students, for aircraft design, fluid flow simulation software, etc. ...

- Here is the typical "Airfoil shape" or "Popular" explanation of airfoil lift which commonly appears in childrens' science books: .
- Whenever an airfoil is adjusted to give lift, then the parcels of air above the wing move FAR faster than those below, and the lower parcels lag far behind. ...
- The typical "airfoil shape" explanation cannot tell us why a paper airplane can fly, because it does not tell us why the air above the paper wing moves faster. ...
- Some exotic airfoil shapes are even flat on top and more curved on the bottom! (NASA's "supercritical" wing designs, for example. ...
- If the typical "popular" or "airfoil-shape" explanation is correct, then how can symmetrical wings and thin cambered wings work at all? How can rubberband balsa gliders work? Those who support the "path length" explanation will sometimes suggest that some other method must be used to explain these particular wings. ...

- www.av8n.com
- The maximum positive pressure on the airfoil is exactly equal to Q; this occurs right at the stagnation lines. 5 The maximum suction depends on the angle of attack, and on the detailed shape of the airfoil; for the situation in figure 3. ...
- You’ve probably been told that an airfoil produces lift because it is curved on top and flat on the bottom. ...

- A symmetric airfoil, where the top surface is a mirror image of the bottom surface, has zero camber. The airflow and pressure patterns for such an airfoil are shown in figure 3. ...
- 13: Symmetric Airfoil .
- At small angles of attack, a symmetric airfoil works better than a highly cambered airfoil. Conversely, at high angles of attack, a cambered airfoil works better than the corresponding symmetric airfoil. ... The airfoil designated “631-012” is symmetric, while the airfoil designated “631-412” airfoil is cambered; otherwise the two are pretty much the same. ... Beyond that point the cambered airfoil has a big advantage because it does not stall until a much higher relative angle of attack. ...
- 15: The Wrights’ 1903 Airfoil .
- Still, the wing produces lift, using the same lift-producing principle as any other airfoil. ...
- The funny thing is that if the trailing edge is sharp, an airfoil will work even if the leading edge is sharp, too. ...
- In particular, note that when the airfoil is not producing lift there is no circulation --- the upper streamers are not advanced relative to the lower streamers.
