How All Planes Work | Going Deep With David Rees

I have no idea how planes fly I have no

I have no idea how planes fly I have no idea how anything flies who knows about

idea how anything flies who knows about

idea how anything flies who knows about why things fly NASA the National

why things fly NASA the National

why things fly NASA the National Association of spectacular astronaut

Association of spectacular astronaut people I met with Al Bowers he is the

people I met with Al Bowers he is the

people I met with Al Bowers he is the chief scientist at the Armstrong Flight

chief scientist at the Armstrong Flight

Research Center at Edwards Air Force

Research Center at Edwards Air Force Base in California al knows how things

Base in California al knows how things

Base in California al knows how things fly believe that what is flying flight

fly believe that what is flying flight

fly believe that what is flying flight is where you have a vehicle that is

is where you have a vehicle that is

is where you have a vehicle that is interacting with the air goes around the

interacting with the air goes around the

interacting with the air goes around the vehicle and because of that flow it

vehicle and because of that flow it

vehicle and because of that flow it creates lift let’s say this is a side

creates lift let’s say this is a side

creates lift let’s say this is a side view of an airplane wing okay now do

view of an airplane wing okay now do

view of an airplane wing okay now do bird’s wings do this yeah absolutely

okay okay go so that the air meets the

okay okay go so that the air meets the leading edge of a wing right in the air

leading edge of a wing right in the air

leading edge of a wing right in the air that goes over the top has to go further

that goes over the top has to go further

that goes over the top has to go further okay then the air that goes underneath

okay then the air that goes underneath

okay then the air that goes underneath yeah and so it has to go faster that

yeah and so it has to go faster that

yeah and so it has to go faster that would push it down

would push it down

would push it down no the lift is created by the movement

no the lift is created by the movement

no the lift is created by the movement of the air over the object David can I

of the air over the object David can I

of the air over the object David can I show you a really cool simple

show you a really cool simple

show you a really cool simple demonstration this better be a good

demonstration this better be a good

demonstration this better be a good demonstration has never been interrupted

demonstration has never been interrupted

demonstration has never been interrupted before let’s do this so what we want to

before let’s do this so what we want to

before let’s do this so what we want to do to simulate a wing is to accelerate

do to simulate a wing is to accelerate

do to simulate a wing is to accelerate air over the top yeah and have

air over the top yeah and have

air over the top yeah and have relatively still air on the bottom okay

relatively still air on the bottom okay

relatively still air on the bottom okay just blow across the top of the piece of

just blow across the top of the piece of

just blow across the top of the piece of paper

paper

paper oh it’s raising up that’s the same as

oh it’s raising up that’s the same as

oh it’s raising up that’s the same as that’s how an airplane flies yep you’re

that’s how an airplane flies yep you’re

that’s how an airplane flies yep you’re actually sucking everybody watching at

actually sucking everybody watching at

actually sucking everybody watching at home go get a piece of paper right now

home go get a piece of paper right now

home go get a piece of paper right now and do what big red said something okay

and do what big red said something okay

and do what big red said something okay and frankly you know what I’m going to

and frankly you know what I’m going to

and frankly you know what I’m going to justify that interruption wait a minute

justify that interruption wait a minute

justify that interruption wait a minute airplanes that have jets the jet doesn’t

airplanes that have jets the jet doesn’t

airplanes that have jets the jet doesn’t lift the plane the jet jet just gets the

lift the plane the jet jet just gets the

lift the plane the jet jet just gets the plane going fast enough to trick the air

plane going fast enough to trick the air

plane going fast enough to trick the air into lifting the planes active that’s

into lifting the planes active that’s

into lifting the planes active that’s how Jets work that’s how all airplanes

how Jets work that’s how all airplanes

how Jets work that’s how all airplanes work except for rockets right who cares

work except for rockets right who cares

work except for rockets right who cares about ROI you know I was trying to go to

about ROI you know I was trying to go to

about ROI you know I was trying to go to the moon there’s nothing up there
