@MichaelSteidel @bengol13 @MittensTrader@crazyhoodvids@greg16676935420 The wings make lift to make the plane fly. That means they ‘carry’ the rest of the plane weighing hundreds of tons by the attachment point at one end of the wing. The fuel in the wing weighs it down to stop them flexing up as much and makes it *less* likely to snap off.
It’s been *forever* since my last Physics Twitter Thread 😳.
But today I ran into a beautiful artistic physics demo in my hometown that inspired me to write a few lines.
I’m sure you’ve all seen these massive floating granite balls. How do they work?

The combined emotions saying goodbye to the old girl
The countless stories of old
The friends and crews who we had worked and flown with
@IronMaiden & @TeamStatusQuo & AK47 driving the gig
We gave Fat Albert, just the best possible send off!!!
Sans Peur
Strange first actual tweet but the occasion seems fitting.Last night was an immense experience that was the summation of many years that have led to performing at easily the most heart-wrenching and surreal gig of my life. 1/5
Most of all it made me appreciate the ragtag group of guys (and girl) off the Squadron who dabble in music that somehow managed to earn the privilege of standing on a stage in front of the whole family at one of its most important moments. 4/5
