Theory how lift is produced

[keith103]

Happened to see this.

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.

( Apologize if this is not relevant or has already been dissected.)
