This is just one more example of popular science picking the easiest explanation and not the most accurate. Although without actually saying it they are spreading the false interpretation that Bernoulli's principles are the main source of lift.
They show a child holding their hand out of a train, and this creates lift. What is actually happening is Newton's 3rd law of motion, equal and opposite reaction, which is one of the main components of lift.
It is true that Bernoulli's principle does apply, but the way they explain it is false, and wouldn't even account for half of the overall lift.
google "equal transit fallacy" and you will realize that this has been going on for some time
Or read the Wiki article on Lift, which is very accurate.

What we commonly see now were a dream a century ago. We take things for granted and ignore the wonders that is human engineering. When witnessing invention such as this in early years of development, I cannot help myself but to think of the high they have felt in their adventurous times. This is why history is important and should be respected and not ignored.

the attempt to fly an authentic wright brothers plane is full of hope and grounded in reality. but you have to admire the passion of the endeavor. who would have imagined just how adventurous those bicycle repair men were.

Ok documentary, not a great one. Nova has done much better than this. Watch it if you really love hearing the same thing over and over.

I was surfing Hulu when I came across this vid. I, of course, had a schoolboy's knowledge of the Brothers, but watching engineers with today's computers and programs wonder at the Wright Bros. skill and ingenuity gave me a new perspective. It also reminded me, to paraphrase, of the saying: Engineer inventors build what the scientists of the day claim impossible. I always enjoy it when I can see the familiar thru new eyes and feel wonder anew.
