Lift And The Berboulli Principle

Question 1

What is the Bernoulli principle

Answer 1

Creation of an additional lift force on a projectile in flight resulting from Bernoulli’s conclusion that the higher the velocity of air flow, the lower the surrounding pressure

Question 2

What is a lift force

Answer 2

An additional force created by a pressure gradient forming on opposing surfaces of an aerofoil through a fluid

Question 3

What is the angle of attack

Answer 3

The most favourable angle for a release for a projectile to optimise lift force due to the Bernoulli principle
