S2E95 - Lift Off: How the Bernoulli Principle Keeps Your Drone in the Air

Every pilot knows drones fly—but do you really know why? In S2E95 of Sky Commander Academy, we dive into Section 7.1.1: The Bernoulli Principle, unpacking the science behind lift and how it applies to RPAS aerodynamics. Understanding this principle isn’t just exam prep—it’s what separates button-pushers from true aviators.

In this episode:
🌬 The Bernoulli effect explained – how pressure differences over a surface create lift
🌀 From theory to propellers – why your drone’s props are miniature wings that obey the same rules as airplanes
📉 Common misconceptions – clearing up myths about airflow, suction, and “magic lift”
📊 Exam focus points – what Transport Canada wants you to know about Bernoulli’s principle for Advanced Ops
🧠 Real-world application – how wind, blade pitch, and thrust efficiency affect your drone in flight
💡 Pro tips – using aerodynamic awareness to plan smarter, safer flights in challenging conditions

The Bernoulli Principle isn’t just a line in a textbook—it’s the invisible hand keeping your aircraft aloft. Master it, and you’ll fly with deeper confidence and sharper understanding.
