"Engineer debunks theory of Flight" 2

[KENAT]

Well, dead horses have never been much for providing transportation.

At times in the not so distant past they did form the raw material for certain glues (or at least parts of them did).

The French also eat Cheval.

How short are you FeX32?

haha. Nice KENAT. Thanks.
I am not a large man. Only large in some ways . I am average height I would say. lol

He's tall enough to just keep his feet on the ground, to paraphrase Lincolm

Yea, and if I ever start to tip over I always have my third leg to prop me up.

KENAT,

The wing in your video looks symmetrical to me.

If the wing were asymmetric and the angle of attack were zero, I think there would be a higher velocity and lower pressure on top of the wing. Also, the air coming down from the top would have more energy, causing the air to be vectored downward, which is of course, the other explanation for airplanes flying.

Beating a dead horse does not cause flight as far as I know.

Isn't lift something to do with vortices?

Babinsky wrote a paper in 2003. It's quite interesting.

With a cambered aerofoil it's effective angle of attack that comes into play if memory serves. At an effective angle of attack of 0 there will still be 0 lift as I recall.
