Are wind tunnels really the best way to understand aerodynamic lift? Discover why they might be the wrong tool for the job! The fascinating case of Howard Hughes’ Spruce Goose H-4 reveals the critical importance of reaching a specific speed, V1, before any lift can be generated. This excerpt dives into the limitations of traditional methods like wind tunnels and CFD simulations, and introduces the groundbreaking Zone Theory that explains how the Wright Brothers unlocked the secrets of efficient lift generation. Join us as we explore the true nature of lift and its implications for aviation!

We focus our discussion on the bi-planes of the early flying days, which always had more then one wing by default, to achieve the required lift. Some of them can be seen in images below. The question is why use two or even three wings ? The usual explanation given for this type of double […]

A car design of 1922 has still proven today that the airfoil is the most efficient aerodynamic form or shape for an object which travels through air and inevitably encounters air resistance, be it an aircraft or in this case, an automobile. The car called a Persu, was designed by a Romanian engineer Aurel Persu. […]

The zone theory explains the ground effect flawlessly, and proved its correctness by accurately describing how this effect is created during landing or takeoff. Ground effect refers to a slight increase in lift when an aircraft is close to the ground at an altitude comparable to its wingspan. As usual, all sorts of wrong theories […]

Flat Earthers and Streamliners are not very different. It is strange what makes aerodynamicists believe that the atmosphere has a constant flow of these streamlines which interact with aircraft and make it fly. If the plane makes a U-turn, will these streamlines also start flowing backwards ? There are specific air corridors as per aviation […]

Einstein Failed using Bernoulli’s Principle for Wing Design ?… hard to believe, but its true. Its certainly not an over-statement to say that the reason why mystery of lift remained unsolved for more then a century, is due solely, to the collective failure of the scientists, both past and present. It came as nothing less […]

Are flying fish nature’s oddity or a statement ? Once again another convincing proof of the Zone Theory of Lift comes from nature itself. This time from flying fish and how they do it. The flying performance of the flying fish is shown in images below, and what’s even more impressive is that they get […]

In the course of last century and even today, aerodynamics “experts” take pride in revolving around scientific principles of Bernoulli and Newton as they explain how lift is produced by the airfoil. Einstein designed a wing, which failed disastrously, due to a lack of insight into airfoil behavior. Einstein used Bernoulli’s principle so failure was […]

Throw away your text books and stop watching misleading Youtube videos on how lift is generated by an airfoil. Everything you were told about how aircraft fly is Wrong!  As much as it’s talked about in terms of mathematics and engineering, to make it look like so; Aerodynamics is not at all a science, It’s […]
