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, ...

For a better understanding of aerodynamic testing, we asked an expert to provide us with some basic, but valuable information on the subject. The author is directly involved in using his knowledge of ...

Ski jumpers use aerodynamics and physics to overcome gravity – at least for a while. Christof Stache/AFP via Getty Images If you or I jump in the air as high as possible, we can stay off the ground ...

On today’s episode of “For Science!” we explore the concepts of Thrust, Lift, and Drag by conducting the ring airplane experiment. Cut the paper into 1 inch strips. Using two strips, tape them ...

If you or I jump in the air as high as possible, we can stay off the ground for about half a second. Michael Jordan could stay aloft for almost one second. While there are many events at the Winter ...
