I'm full of those today...spent too much time in the airport...someone sent
me this link to a discussion of sailing physics:

And in particular, this embedded link includes an excellent discussion of
how lift is generated in fluid flow is excellent:

http://www.grc.nasa.gov/WWW/K-12/airplane/lift1.html

I am sure many or most of you already know all about these things. I have
certainly heard many discussions on the subject at many levels (ranging from
grade school to graduate school) over the years. I found both of these links
to be excellent, and just thought some others might enjoy them.

Later!
