Discover the groundbreaking Zone Theory of Lift, which unveils the true mechanics behind how wings generate lift in real-world flight conditions. Unlike traditional theories that rely on outdated wind tunnel experiments, this innovative approach reveals the induction and subduction zones that create lift as a natural by-product of airfoil function. Witness the stunning visual evidence in our video, showcasing the condensation patterns over wings and the unique vortex paths. Join us as we challenge conventional wisdom and explore the fascinating science of aerodynamic lift that has eluded understanding for over a century. Don’t miss out on this revolutionary perspective! In the presentation and video below you will see the Zone Theory of Lift of aerodynamic lift in action in the real world. (DOI, ORCID)
Very few people study aerodynamics but everyone is interested in how airplanes and birds fly. We all want to know just what is that force which keeps them in air. The Zone Theory of Lift has finally solved the mystery of how wings generate lift force. What you are about to witness in the video, are the origins of Aerodynamic Airfoil Lift in actual real world flight conditions, as stipulated by the zone theory; not any incorrect experimental wind tunnel or CFD (computational fluid dynamics) simulation.
There’s plenty of more scientifically correct info on the website on the origins of lift and airfoil functions, including an ebook. Only the Zone Theory of Lift provides detailed scientifically correct analysis of how the airfoil generates lift force by creating induction and subduction zones, of which lift is a natural by-product of this airfoil function. The Zone phenomenon seen here cannot be described by any existing hypothesis till now, even after 100 years of first flight by Wright Brothers or millions of years of bird flight. This Zone phenomenon cannot be replicated in any Wind Tunnel Experiment nor any CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) simulation. Keep checking this website as we will be adding exciting and iconoclastic new content, which will shatter all the existing vague and misleading explanations of lift force.
And Video says a Million … watch
A Boeing-757 during takeoff. In the video below you not only see the induction zone wing condensation but also the nacelle strake vortex path from engine to over the top of the wing. The point to observe is start of condensation over the zero-slope line, which is the front boundary of the inductor surface. The high pressure deflector surface where the subduction zone exists bounded by the leading edge and the zero slope line, experiences no condensation. (courtesy Planebois)
As an intro on the zone theory, we all know in real flight conditions, its the aircraft that moves, not the atmosphere it moves in. This being the fundamental premise of the theory, broke all barriers that had been camouflaging the true origin of lift from the scientists for over a century.
From first principles, generation of lift by the airfoil relies on the most basic scientific (and mathematics) fact that no two objects can occupy the same point in space at the same time. The thin void of vacuum created above the wing’s inductor surface can not be filled by the air mass in vicinity, in zero time. This creates a transient low pressure over the wing in time it takes for air to move in and normalize the pressure. But the pressure over the wings is continuous as long as the airfoil is moving, hence generating constant lift. The thermodynamics of the lift creation are equally intriguing.
In condition of level flight or cruise, lift equals weight, yet a constant engine input of energy is required to maintain altitude. Despite lift force not doing any visible work (vertical distance = 0m), where does all the energy produced by the engines dissipate? (air resistance is a minute in comparison to engine thrust). Secondly, how can an engine thrust of 120,000kg lift up a 450,000kg airliner? How’s this pneumatic mechanical advantage produced? This puts the Newtonian reaction theory to rest since a thrust vector cannot resolve into 4 times vertical force, as propounded by the angle-of-attack argument.
Even Einstein failed drastically when he tried to design a wing based on Bernoulli’s Principle, putting an end to all those who think lift is not as shown above by Zone Theory of Aerodynamic Lift in Action in Real World.
