Bernoulli showed (using water models) how flow over an airfoil

(the top surface curved more than the bottom = shape of aircraft wing)

lowered the pressure on the top surface, thus producing lift.

What is the bernoullis principle in flying?

The Bernoulli's principle states that as the speed of a fluid (such as air) increases, its pressure decreases. In flying, this principle is applied to the wings of an aircraft, where the shape and angle of the wing cause air to move faster over the top surface than the bottom surface. This speed difference creates lower pressure above the wing, resulting in lift.


Which kind of friction tends to affect flying objects most?

Air friction, also known as air resistance, tends to affect flying objects the most. As an object moves through the air, it experiences resistance from the air molecules, which can slow it down and affect its trajectory. This is why airplanes and other flying objects are designed to minimize air friction for efficient and stable flight.


What inventions was based on Bernoulli s principle?

Some inventions based on Bernoulli's principle include airplane wings (providing lift), carburetors (mixing air and fuel in engines), and atomizers (creating a fine mist by passing liquid through a nozzle). These inventions utilize the principle that as the speed of a fluid increases, its pressure decreases.


What flies through the air?

A plane, bird, rocket, frisbee, in fact anything that is propelled on a trajectory in air can be considered to be flying.


How do fluid forces allow heavy airplanes to fly?

it all works on the principle of newton's third law of motion, A force has an action force and a reaction force opposite to action force but the same magnitude. What happens is that, Jet engines have huge engines on their wings, which has a huge fan in-front of it which sucks air at a enormous rate. Inside the engine fuel is burnt and mixed with air and released from the back, which is a narrow nozzle producing thrust.
