Airplane Flight as Lift
"It appeared and as yet appears to follow, in conventional, state-
licensed structural engineering, that if tension is secondary and
local in all men's structural projections, that tension must also
be secondary in man's philosophic reasoning. As a consequence,
the popular conception of airplane flight was, at first and for
a long time, erroneously explained as a compressional push-up
force operating under the plane's wing. It apparently' progress-
ively compressed the air below it, as a ski compresses the snow
into a grooved track of icy slidability. The scientific fact
remains, as wind-tunnel experiments proved, that three-quarters
of the airplane's weight support is furnished by the negative lift
of the partial vacuum created atop the airfoil. This is simply
because, as Bernouilli showed, it is longer for the air to go
around the top of the foil than under the foil, and so the same
amount of air in the same amount of time had to be stretched
thinner, ergo vacuously, over the top. This stretching thinner
of the air and its concomitant greater effectiveness of inter-
positioning of bodies (that is, the airplane in respect to Earth),
is our same friend, the astro- and nucleic-tensional integrity of
dynamic interpatterning causality."
