The shape of the wing has everything to do with lift. 2/3 of the lift comes from the vacuum on the top side of the wing. 1/3 of the lift comes from the air pressure below the wing. Is this correct? Ice on the wing changes that shape. Too much ice and all of a sudden lift is lost and it drops like a rock. High speed at high altitude is much more difficult to recover from compared to low speed at low altitude?…. Seems counterintuitive to me. What do I know about it? This is just what the TV tells us. |
