How does an airfoil produce lift and drag?

Here we take a look into how we can use wind tunnel experiments to find the lift and drag on an airfoil.

Very cool animation.. The explanation is also very good..

Hey wow! I think this is pretty cool for a non-engineer. I remember a few concepts from Physics of how a fluid is selectively slowed down when if flows against a surface and also the Bernoulli equation! I think I felt a bit left out on the Camber line. Maybe my 3D visualisation skills were not too good. I would have appreciated the use of Blender to complement the rest of the animation. But good job! 😄

Thanks! I do need to get around to playing with blender lol

Oh and the camber line is just the midpoint between the top surface and bottom surface going along the chord.

Well-Done
