    Thank you for making this. I finally understand how they work. +1

    Great advice to improve it, Blooberman. 10/10 for creativity in your response. Must've taken ages to write.

    Make the dynamic pressure at the wingtip lower. Dynamic pressure snaps wings and destroys planes. Any higher than 5 and the drag negates the engines thrust and stalls the plane, or it rips the wings off.

    Terribly inneficient airfoil, but what do you expect in a game made from pixels? This is a great explanation of how it works. However, I may mention that most of the lift a wing creates is created by the lower surface, because the flow of air separates from the top surface of the wing.

    Nice simulation, sad how I learned this in grade 5, but still nice.
