but thats not the same thing.

your now changing incidence or Angle of attack. the point was your trying to say if you create pressure you create lift. THIS IS WRONG. Period.

now you sound like your trying to reword what your saying to be slightly more inline with what I AM SAYING but with the demeanor that you came up with it so I am still wrong ?

is this some sort of a joke? just because that altered pressure zone causes movement DOES NOT MAKE IT LIFT. it just makes it FORCE.

if I put my hand on your chest and SHOVE. is that lift? NO. its a PUSH.

if lift is the result then whatever ALTERED the pressure zone is creating the lift NOT THE SHAPE.

a flat plate wing DOES NOT GENERATE LIFT unless you increase its incidence or increase the angle or attack THEN you get lift.

but the WING is not generating that lift. the Combination of the wing airstream and INCIDENCE OR AOA is generating the lift.

Your tear drop DOES NOT GENERATE LIFT.

if your going down the road and your nose tips UP a bit you will generate lift but this is lift as a result of your shape AND THE INCIDENCE YOU ADDED BY TIPPING UP.

NOT simply from your tear drop.

all data must be applied in a static world to be understood then APPLIED to the dynamic world to experiment with. if you don't understand the static math you can possible understand the dynamic implications.
