Lift Formula.

The lift formula simply explained.

Please note a clarification to this video:
Only "V²" is highlighted as IAS in this video but ideally "½ρV²" should have been highlighted as IAS.
V = Velocity which is True Airspeed (TAS).
½ ρV² = Dynamic Pressure which is like Indicated Airspeed (IAS).

i just discovered this video series now and everything just looks easier. thanks a lot for the great effort put in to make us understand complicated concepts :)

[benjames]

Wow. Never seen a simpler explanation for lift formula on the internet. Great work.

[mwbgaming]

I wish I knew about this channel before I went to flight school, would've helped immensely with exams

[Sanvisuslina]

After seen 200 video since 01 months this is the perfect explanation on lift force.

I don't know if you're still putting out as many videos, but I wanted to let you know I've found your content hugely helpful while studying for my PPL/CPL during covid lockdown!

These videos are so valuable to watch. Please upload more

Almost correct. The V2 in the formula is actually TAS not IAS. Great channel!

[johncrielaard]

Excellent video. One smallnflaw though. V is shown as IAS. While its really TAS, true airspeed. Rho and V together is closer to IAS.

Thank you for this video i like airplanes and i wanted to build them when i grow up

[kamilkenar]

Explained in the best way! Really appreciate ur work ! :)

[teresamillan]

thank you very much for the videos! very clear explanations and easy to understand! and for me difference with all the other videos in youtube: Fantastic Design! Really really Great work of graphic design and motion graphics. It really invites you to wach it again and again! I love it

EMT- "Sir, how did you break your face on a bus sign?

Man- "I was testing dynamic air pressure."

EMT- "Sir, I think you failed."

[techtravel]

Why didn't I see these videos before... thanks a lot for the clean and clear explanation

[sureshkm]

Thank you for making the flight concepts look so simple!

[klausbrinck]

Your videos are sick, too good to describe... And pretty compact too... !!!

[foxcheese]

thank you so much for your help God bless you

[MsWelle]

Good Video, just one little correction: It says, that the speed at which the aircraft flies through the Air is called the IAS, but it should be the TAS, the true airspeed in fact, not the indicated :)

Thank you for this explanation!

Does this explanation for AoA work with the propellers too? Like, on helicopters, when the airflow is pushing down on the blade cross-section instead of from the left?

[Battlebee]

This is the Kutta–Joukowski lift theorem. And instead of using area S of airfoil we can also put length of airfoil/2, but using area gives more presize answer.

[santigestido]

So if speed is doubled, Coefficient of lift is multiplied by 0.25
