Lots of good material regarding the incorrect "Bernoulli effect"
explanation of lifting force. It includes some A. Einstein history which I
have never before enountered. Apparently Einstein designed an airfoil
during WWI, but his thinking was based upon the usual incorrect
explanation of aerodynamic lift, and his design didn't work Einstein
found:
"Although it is probably true that the principle of flight can be most
simply explained in this [Bernoullian] way it by no means is wise to
construct a wing in such a manner!"
Not only does the "longer path gives faster flow" misconception suck in
students, educators, and textbook authors, it sucked in Albert too!
