Bernoulli vs Newton yet another time

[William Beaty <billb@eskimo.com>]

Yay, Cliff Swartz is a Newtonist!

See NUMBERS COUNT, his editorial in December TPT.  He shows that a
calculation of the lifting force on a 747 using crude estimates of air
volume, etc., match the weight of the craft.  A simple calculation like
this is impossible if based on the Bernoulli viewpoint, which is one point
Dr. Weltner uses in arguing for the Newton viewpoint in his several
articles on this topic.
