Just to throw in a little humor here as the 'lift' thread heats up:

Assume you're gliding in a Piper Warrior or Archer doing 80 knots in
no wind
conditions with the engine at idle. If you try open that little air
vent on
the pilot's left, it is forcibly sucked outwards. Makes sense until
you
think that the air outside is standing still while the air inside is
doing
100 knots and should therefore have a lower pressure!


And if the pilot's pencil fell out of the visor, I guess they should be
slammed against the back of the cabin at 100 knots, right?
