Uplifting presentation! Well done.

[@xmlthegreat]

I love the pun and hate it at the same time.

[@levigraber4903]

We have been in an airplane. We experienced lift because there was low pressure above the wing and high pressure beneath it, lifting us up. 😎

[@BrandonMpofu-wo1ph]

This helped me a lot, the explanation is so vivid. More lessons please😉😉😉

[@ilian_i2]

This really helped me create an aircraft! Thank you!

I use to sky dive and I definitely experienced drag when I moved my body shape in free.fall and whem my parachute opened, the drag from the parachute stopped me falling to the earth at 9.2 metres per second! (AkA terminal velocity) Around 130 mph.

[@teachlearnexplore2353]

Very well explained!

[@ProfessionalPilot]

It takes me an hour to explain this to my PPL students and she does this in 5 minutes 😂

[@emonatsume]

Have copied this video to what seems to be a post by someone who is followed by alotnof flat earthers. They seem very confused by gravity and don't believe the theory as birds fly 😆🤣
I explained that the principles of flight are what makes things fly, including birds and planes...hopefully they will watch this and not be soo confused

[@fatimakhasim9273]
