AVweb is one of the sources of aviation news that I follow both on the web and on Twitter. Today they tweeted a link to a cool video by a Canadian military test pilot Desmond Brophy explaining the differences in aerodynamics between a simple GA aircraft and fighters such as the F-16.
An F-16 is designed differently than a Cessna 172! Great aerodynamics lesson from an Air Force test pilot: http://bit.ly/N2rp3
We haven’t gotten to covering the forces of flight or aerodynamics in ground school yet but I thought this was kind of cool and very educational!
