Modern airplanes are truly engineering marvels. They overcome highly turbulent and unpredictable currents in the air and complete their flights by undertaking many complex maneuvers. Have you ever thought of how the pilots are able to achieve this, or what happens to the airplane when the pilot operates certain controls? In this video, we will explore how an airplane flies, and how pilots are able to control an airplane in a logical, yet simple way.

The reason for the lift generation is not Bernoulli's principle, it's Newton's 3rd law. https://youtu.be/w78JT6azrZU . More specifically, apply Newton's 3rd law on down wash produced by the airfoil shape. Please watch the Airfoil video by Learn Engineering to understand this concept completely.

Always amazed by this technology! And huge respect to all engineers!

I was feeling a bit down tonight. For some reason watching simple, informative videos like this is comforting and brings your spirits up especially watching it late at night :)

I've flown more times than I can count, and yet, every time I get on a massive jet, a part of me isn't quite sure that those engines can get that monstrous metal tube off the ground. And yet... they never fail.

It all started with an idea, then the maths and physics refined it to its present form.

Flying in 2022 is so commonplace many don't awe in the beauty of how amazing flying is, the whole concept of a machine design basically as a bird to get you to places quicker. I will always be in awe of Flight...
-
This is one of the best explanations that I have come across.

I wish I had this video during my undergraduate Avionics degree that I completed in 1991. This video basically covers Aerodynamic 1 and Aircraft stability without the partial derivatives.

I've flown a thousand times and each time is an amazing experience. Airplanes, pilots and tower controllers are the greatest human intelligence, every time we take of i always close my eyes don't wanna see the take off lol.... while i say some prayers too, but these pilot do this take off, flying and landing like its nothing, wow!!!... They are my real hero πβ πβπβ

I was trying to understand and then i decide to just be a passenger ππ€£

Iβm 36 yrs old and for the first time in my life, last August I ride a plane at first I was worried and after that I just enjoyed the journey. I enjoyed being on the plane. π
-
The 3D animations of this channel are really awesome and these animations show us the process with more detail and making these videos is not such a easy task...
-
Flaps are activated before the takeoff, not during it.
-
Definitely made me appreciate what airline pilots do even more than I already did. Thanks for the info. Learned quite a lot of information about airplanes Iβve always being curious about.πππΎ
-
One of the best toturial that i've ever seen.
-
Can't wait to go on my flight back home in 4 days so I can observe the things I learned! I absolutely love planes!!
-
Seeing all the principles from different course of study come together to achieve one goal is so exciting
-
It is important to note these mistakes in the video- 1) Flaps are lowered before takeoff even starts. Even as early as directly during are after Pushback from the Gate. 2) The Flaps+Slats are lowered less during takeoff because if they were lowered all the way, it would create too much lift and the Airplane may stall (For anybody who does not know what that means, it means that the weight of the aircraft is becomes to much for the Jet engines and the plane basically falls out of the sky). They are lowered much farther during landing because the low levels of thrust to reduce speed for landing is not enough to keep the airplane in the air so the Flaps+Slats produce enough lift to keep the airplane in the air long enough to get to the Landing Strip.

One of the best inventions, an invention which changed the world, an invention which eased things, an invention the beauty of which cannot be described in words. Huge huge huuuuuge respect for people belonging to this industry. Profuse thanks to all of you β€
