Answering
A Need
Discovery of the Bicambered™ airfoil
answers a need for higher lift, lower drag
and better maneuvering control. The bicamber
idea is revolutionary in that it is possible
to accomplish all these benefits at the same
time.
Objects fly through empty space with absolutely
no drag, but of course there is no lift either.
A golf ball driven from a space ship into space
was said to travel 4.8 million kilometers, (3
million miles) before burning up in earth’s
atmosphere. A collision of two objects in space
changes the velocity and direction of both objects.
Assuming they don’t destruct in the collision,
they bounce off one another and continue with
the same combined energy and velocity they previously
had but in new directions.
To change course or velocity another force must
be introduced. A golf ball driven on earth encounters
the force of air. Its energy is dissipated (more
correctly is transferred) to the air. It can’t
even travel one kilometer before gravity returns
it to earth.
These examples demonstrate Sir Isaac Newton’s
three laws of motion, and the law of conservation
of energy, which we will have much to say about
later.
