Doug McLean：空气动力学中常见的误解

Retired Boeing Technical Fellow Doug McLean walks through common misconceptions in aerodynamics, drawing on his book Understanding Aerodynamics. He critiques popular explanations of wing lift and rocket thrust and argues for arguing from the real physics.

Why HN likes it: HN commenters point to it as a credible debunking of the popular but wrong explanations of how wings generate lift.

“You might get something out of this 2013 talk by former Boeing engineer Doug McLean on misconceptions about lift.”
