✈️ THIS WEEK'S RIDDLE ✈️ Well you all nearly broke our comments arguing about airflow over a wing. 😄 So this week..... let's settle it with a 10-second experiment you can do right now. Grab a single sheet of paper. Hold it just below your bottom lip so it flops down in front of you. Now blow HARD across the top of it. What does the paper do? 🅰️ Flops down — you're blowing on it, after all 🅱️ Lifts UP toward the stream of air Here's the fun part!!! this is the exact same force holding up a 400,000-pound airplane. If you can explain what the paper does, you understand how wings actually work. So… do you know the answer? And does the young engineer in your life? Hand them a sheet of paper and watch their face. 😉 👇 Drop your guess — A or B. Navi reveals the answer later this week. #LetsGoAerospace #STEMeducation #AerospaceEngineering #RaisingEngineers #Aviation
