ORIGINAL: Rick.

hee hee yeah, its ALL true! The only ''theory'' i chuck out is the old school text book explanation of lift via Bernie's Nelly principle, you know, the air has to travel faster over the top to meet the air from the bottom at the trailing edge and the lower pressure in the faster moving air provides lift - bunkum as far as i can see!
I thought it was how fast the wing is going through the air, not how fast the air is going over the wing?
