Day 3...Awesome Aerodynamics




Day 3 was pretty awesome! We had a Celebrity Death Match between Bernoulli vs. Newton. We discussed the difference between several different effects on the wings which make a plane fly. We talked about the Bernoulli Effect, The Newtonian Theory, and finally the Circulatory Effect. Since tonight's homework was to explain these, I won't here. We built several different gliders and we'll let them off tomorrow.
Tomorrow is our first day off campus. We will be leaving school at about 9:15am and getting back at about 3:15 pm. Things to have for our 7 days off campus:

  • LUNCH!!! It will not be provided
  • White Journal
  • Blue Logbook (Folder)
  • Writing Utensils

Homework for tonight:

1. In words and pictures, describe the Bernoulli Effect, The Newtonian Theory, and finally the Circulatory Effect.



2: Define the following:

  • Yaw-
  • Pitch-
  • Roll-
  • Dihedral-
  • Static-
  • Dynamic-
  • Aerodynamic-

Have fun, see you in the morning.

Shulman. Out.
