Abstract
As the fastest means of transportation in the globe for people, airplanes are receiving more and more attention in the fields of science and engineering. Experts around the world try to figure out methods of increasing safety for airplanes, while it may elicit an ongoing debate on how to explain wing aerodynamics. This essay delves into the intricate world of wing aerodynamics, first presenting an analysis of forces acting on the airplane which could help provide basic knowledge and serve as background information. Three main theories, Bernoulli’s equation, Newton’s third law, and the Coanda effect are analyzed and compared here to get a relatively accurate explanation. By figuring out how wings work to make a plane uplift in the air, the results help improve the design of traditional airliners and increase their stability.
