Here's a microblog about Aerodynamic Lift; from the paradoxes and anomalies that haunt the 'accepted' Theories-of-Flight to the Displacement Aerodynamics that will someday take their place.

I'd love to read your comments about anything you see there...

[The Air Whisperer @arrowfoil]

This article makes the problem seem like a choice of two opposed positions.

But how Lift happens really is a mystery - it's not just poorly explained.

FOUR experts provide arguments for the piece - and each favours a DIFFERENT explanation of Lift...

Will analysis of the X-59's Aero performance finally lay to rest the myth of 'supersonic airflow'...?

(Enabling a better understanding of both Sound and Aerodynamics, and introducing a 'golden age' of Aviation development...)

Race week in Sardinia 🇮🇹

[The Air Whisperer @arrowfoil]

@FlyingMagazine @FAANews @embraer @rschuur_aero @EASA @UK_CAA @LiebherrGearTec @CollinsAero @SAFRAN @StirlingDynamic Defending the SUPERSTITIOUS idea that Ground Effect is some kind of 'drag reduction'

(that *somehow* INHIBITS acceleration rather than boosting it...!)

for almost a Century has left Aerodynamics BAMBOOZLED as to the real nature of the phenomenon

- and leaves pilots in danger.

Great to be back on the water for another training camp in sunny Cagliari ☀️

The Douglas X-3 Stiletto first flew at Edwards AFB on Oct 20, 1952. This research jet had a razor-thin wingspan, pioneered titanium use, but its J34 engines left it underpowered—hitting just Mach 1.2. Its high-speed roll coupling data helped shape the F-104 and X-15. 😎
