Technical Genius: "Thrust" Master
Experiment 1: Feel the Lift
A very simple experiment next time you are in a car allows you to feel the power of lift, and understand hour the ANGLE that a wing meets the air determines the amount of LIFT, and DRAG, produced.
LIFT is the UPWARDS force produced by a wing, and is the force that lifts an aeroplane from the ground.
DRAG is the "slow you down" force, the force that makes your bike slow down, and makes an aeroplane slow down if its engines are not powerful enough to keep it moving through the air.
To demonstrate I need a volunteer.
Any ideas who?
Who could this be?
I might need
