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.
