GPT-5 Demo Mistake About Bernoulli Effect
Source: NASA Thanks to my colleague Tom McLean There are many theories of how lift is generated. Unfortunately, many of the theories found in encyclopedias, on web sites, and even in some...
The air molecules (the little colored balls on the figure) have farther to travel over the top of the airfoil than along the bottom in order to meet up at the trailing edge. This part of the theory attempts to provide us with a value for the velocity over the top of the airfoil based on a non-physical assumption (the molecules meet at the aft end). The problem with the "Equal Transit" theory is that it attempts to provide us with the velocity based on a non-physical assumption as discussed above.
