I flew for the first time on a plane last week and I’ve seen planes take off at the airport. It looks crazy. But being on one is totally different like holy shit. The thing just FLIES. It just… Soars… Through the sky! Like whoa man. Wtf… It’s crazy. With how much these things weigh, it’s insane to me the thing can just go up and bam, there we are, we’re flying now. Like wow… Dude crazy.

    Yah, that’s correct. I was trying to give the most simplified version, without getting into conservation of energy in a fluid.

    Now I’m annoyed with myself for not explaining it further. You did a great job tho.
