Document Summary

Could not get enough 02 to power flight muscles. If you blow on the top of a piece of paper it will rise up. Static pressure: exerted uniformly in all direction (atmosphere) Dynamic pressure- kinetic energy due to motion of air molecules (~velocity^2) In we increase dynamic pressure above page (greater airstream velocity), static pressure above is reduced. Therefore, static pressure below will be > static pressure above. Paper is subjected to a net pressure up. By creating an asymmetrically shaped surface, air travels farther over top than under bottom. Faster air (greater dynamic pressure) leads to reduced static pressure above. Lift results from increased static pressure underneath (bernoulli"s law) As the wing strikes down in power stroke, it deflects air downward. Newton"s 3rd law: for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. Downward force of air creates an equal and opposite force upward=lift.
