Without the aerodynamic forces of lift and drag, aircraft would be unable to fly, wind turbines would not spin, and countless other machines that we depend on every day would not work. What, exactly, ...

At the heart of flight lies Newton's third law: for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. This principle explains how an airplane wing generates lift. When an airplane moves forward, ...

The “science word of the day” is aerodynamics, and the Science Siblings used paper airplanes to explain it. Paige and Adam Jacobson recruited their friend Lincoln to demonstrate. First, they explained ...
