How does an airplane fly?
In this video, in a few minutes and some very concrete experiences, I explain to you in a simplified way the principles and aerodynamic effects that allow an airplane to stay in the air.
The plane flies thanks to a phenomenon of suction called lift. Here are three experiments (validated by my 5-year-old son) to understand this phenomenon, as well as some basics of flight: extending the flaps, making turns, climbing and descending...
A small detail: I made a mistake orally on the maximum angle of turn accepted by the protection of the Airbus flight envelope, it is 66 degrees (and not 60 as I say!).
