No One Can Explain Why Planes Stay in the Air

Interessanterweise gibt es anscheinend keine komplette Erklärung, wie der Auftrieb an Flugzeugflügeln funktioniert.In Brief:
- On a strictly mathematical level, engineers know how to design planes that will stay aloft. But equations don't explain why aerodynamic lift occurs.
- There are two competing theories that illuminate the forces and factors of lift. Both are incomplete explanations.
- Aerodynamicists have recently tried to close the gaps in understanding. Still, no consensus exists.
