How aerodynamic lift actually works in a wing... The clearest non-technical, no-math explanation I've ever seen for this phenomenon. Most people who
believe how airplane wings work actually don't – not because they're dummies, but because nearly every textbook and teacher has taught them a fiction. Usually it's something like what's at right...
I think the interesting thing is that this is also why a sailboat can tack against the wind. The day I realized that was one of those ohhhhh moments that made a lot of other things suddenly make sense.
