av8n.com: Airfoils and Airflow Citat: "...you can pretty much forget about the individual particles, since the relevant information is well summarized by the macroscopic properties of the fluid. This is called the hydrodynamic approximation..."
av8n.com: Airfoils and Airflow Citat: "...You may have heard stories that try to use the Coanda effect or the teaspoon effect to explain how wings produce lift. These stories are completely fallacious, as discussed in section 18.4.4 and section 18.4.3...There are dozens of other fallacies besides..."

27 March 2009, BBC News: Wind-powered car breaks record Citat: "...Richard Jenkins reached 126.1mph (202.9km/h) in his Greenbird car...The designers describe it as a "very high performance sailboat" but one that uses a solid wing, rather than a sail, to generate movement...the designers have added small wings to "stick" the car to the ground, in the same way Formula 1 cars do..."
NASA, Glenn Research Center: Bernoulli and NewtonArkiveret 7. februar 2006 hos Wayback Machine Citat: "...The integrated velocity variation around the object produces a net turning of the gas flow. From Newton's third law of motion, a turning action of the flow will result in a re-action (aerodynamic force) on the object. So both "Bernoulli" and "Newton" are correct. Integrating the effects of either the pressure or the velocity determines the aerodynamic force on an object..."
June 28, 1999, Science & Technology at Scientific American.com: Fly Like a Fly Citat: "...wing curvature seems to play almost no role in insect flight; the wings are surprisingly rigid and flat, Dickinson notes... the hover fly, appears to use delayed stall very little, but makes great use of rotation circulation and wake capture..."

February 12/19, 2003, trnmag: Butterflies offer lessons for robots Citat: "...Free-flying butterflies "use all of the known mechanisms to enhance lift -- wake capture, leading-edge vortex, clap and fling, and active and inactive upstrokes -- as well as two mechanisms that had not been postulated, the leading-edge vortex during the upstrokes and the double leading-edge vortex," said Srygley..."
