Flight Principles: Bernoulli’s Principle and Force Dynamics
The world of aviation relies on basic flight principles to understand how planes glide through the sky. Here are two important concepts that come first among these principles: Bernoulli’s principle and Force Dynamics.
Bernoulli’s Principle
One of the basic principles in airplane flight is Bernoulli’s principle. This principle, discovered by Daniel Bernoulli, states that the pressure level of a fast-flowing fluid is low. Airplane wing profiles create a situation where airflow over their upper surfaces is faster. This rapid flow creates suction on the upper side of the wing, reducing the pressure level. Simultaneously, it increases the slower air pressure on the lower surface of the wing. This pressure difference causes the wing to produce upward lift.
Silencer Force and Propellant Force
During flight, there are two basic forces encountered by an aircraft: Silencing Force and Propellant Force.
-Drag Force:Drag force represents the air resistance that the aircraft encounters during its movement. When the plane moves forward, resistance occurs due to interaction with air molecules. Minimizing squelch force helps the aircraft move more efficiently and economically.
-Thrust:Thrust is the force that ensures the forward movement of the aircraft. It is usually produced by thrust from engines. The driving force must exceed the dampening force so that the plane can accelerate and continue its flight.
The balance between these two forces ensures that the aircraft remains stable at the desired speed and altitude. Pilots achieve a safe and effective flight by keeping these forces in balance.
Includes basic concepts such as flight principles, Bernoulli’s principle, and force dynamics. Understanding these principles helps aviation enthusiasts and students grasp the basic mechanisms of flight.
