how does having a wing shaped like this lead to a pressure differential? it's not like air can be compressed on one side or move faster on one side just because of the shape causing displacement, right?

Every shape creates a pressure differential. It's just about finding the shape that minimizes drag in the same orientation that maximizes the pressure differential.

one side exchanges more photons than the other and that differential causes an anti-gravity effect.

I feel like theres more to this than maximizing the L/D ratio. Airplanes use many profiles, not just the one with the highest L/D. What else matters, stability at many speeds, air density and attack angles?

It ahs nothing to do with the pressure difference between the top and bottom. The wing angle and control surfaces are just set make the air go under the wing.
Take a look at ship propellers and ask yourself why the blades don't have a weird asymmetrical cross section

...as...I review this video again he refers to it as fluid, because he is wrong, as its clearly labeled aero dynamics, as fuilds are maximally dense, while aeros are dynamically dense.

Idiots, everywhere everyone is in all ways wrong about everything, always. Fuck this planet.

No idea about the current situation but when I was a kid, pretty much every general science museum had a display with various airfoils in it where you pressed a button and it pushed lightly dyed water through the chamber so you could see the currents created.

I felt firsthand how wings work in the air by dragging my hands in water as a kid, you can literally create small bubbles underwater behind your hand if you move fast enough.

"Pressure" is an absurd idea. If there is such a things as a movement from "high pressure" to "low pressure" (God only knows how even this much is supposed to happen), then why has the state of total pressure resolution, i.e. total "low pressure", not been achieved?

Anonymous No. 16555138

Pressure is mathematical garbage just as energy or temperature.

The true reason is that there is a momentum exchange between air molecules and the wing

It's the average normal force on a fluid element. That's not absurd.

If you assume incompressibility they are literally identical.

And incompressibility is a safe assumption up to Mach 0.3, or even Mach 0.7 for some applications.
