Amazing how much chat this generates. Science generally requires an idea or
question based on observation (e.g. from birds flying), from which we generate
a hypothesis, it is then tested (typically by experiment). I suggest the number
of successful plane flights generates more than sufficient testing of the
hypothesis and thus explaining why.

Chris Charles, I think Chris Shaw may have seen this article in the Scientific
American.
https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/no-one-can-explain-why-planes-stay-in-the-air/
The title of the article is probably a bit overstated. No one disagrees about
the physical features and air movement required to provide lift, just the
mathematics that explains it.

Chris, Excitedly anticipating my next flight.
There is always some aspect that warrants more research but what is the
reference for your nervousness?
