Default RE: relationship of ground effect and wing chord

ORIGINAL: Taurus Flyer

Hello Dick,

ORIGINAL: dick Hanson

New ideas ?
not many but there are many interpretations of basic laws of nature. (think of four blind men examining an elephant)
In this case , ground effect, it is simple -

when the moving body is close enough to a stationary body to cause a pressure increase between them
the bouyancy of the moving body is increased . The size and speed and shape of the moving body directly affects the pressure and distance of this occurrance..

no aerodynamic mumbo jumbo required.

What is your profession, piano mover? Ground effect!
We can change the subject of the thread especially for Dick: “Relation of impact effect and piano width!”
LOL

My comment may sound rather unprofessional but if you study it, it is not incorrect.

PS. nice old Taurus -
