- bewuethr 12y agoDoes it? I only see talk of accelerated flow on top of the wing leading to reduced pressure, nothing about arriving at the trailing edge at a certain time.
- shaldengeki 12y agoRight, and for what reason would the flow atop the wing be faster than below? The equal-time assumption is what leads to the idea that flow on top is faster (and therefore, pressure is lower).
