  • The Invisible Air That Controls Flight

    The Invisible Air That Controls Flight
    Dec 16 2025

    This episode marks the start of Season 2 of Aerodynamics Explained.

    We explore the boundary layer: a thin, invisible layer of air that controls drag, efficiency, and even whether a wing stalls.

    Though it’s easy to miss, this tiny detail plays a massive role in how aircraft fly and why modern airplanes are so safe.

  • The Most Misunderstood Danger in Aviation

    The Most Misunderstood Danger in Aviation
    Nov 17 2025

    Most people think a stall means the engines shut down, but that’s not true at all.

    In this season finale, we will break down the real reason wings lose lift, how pilots can sense a stall before it happens, and why a stall is actually a limit, not a failure.

    A simple, surprising look at one of aviation’s most misunderstood dangers, and a perfect ending to Season 1 of Aerodynamics Explained.
