What is lift? What is drag? What does any of it have to do with me?
Today Captain Daigle came in to demonstrate for us the flow of air. The best way for him to demonstrate this was using a hairdryer and a ping pong ball. The force of the air pushed the weight upward and created LIFT. He was even able to turn the hairdryer up to 30 degree angles without the force of gravity overtaking! What a great way to demonstrate that when we ride in an airplane, science is all around us!
