Ground Effect | Pilot Tutorial

perfect I am studying for FIA and this question popped up but I needed a visual to help me understand this... thank you so much! this is perfect!

Hello again Mario, thanks for another great video! Just in time too, we're practicing grass take off/landings and ground effect is very important, and has to be respected. Content like your definitely makes it easier to understand. Have a great day.

Why do you have your sun glasses ok? It looks weird!

What's with the 🕶️?

Hey Leon, the shades are to hide my eyes looking down reading a script... we are trying to up the number of videos we put out a month... and me not having to memorize scripts really saves a lot of time. Hopefully people get used to it or can at least bare it. Our goal is to get as much educational content out on KZbin as quickly as possible for the public. Just trying it out... if it works, it works... otherwise we will think of something else.

Question: the only thing i didnt understand is how reduced downwash will result in higher lift.. shouldn't downwash increase lift? especially on the ground.. Would really appriciate a response :)

[@ouukun]

I think it is because w/ ground affect, there is less span wise flow and smaller wingtip vortices, which "pulls" lift vector back at an angle toward trailing edge of wing. Because of this dragging of the lift vector towards the back, the vertical component of the lift vector is reduced, increasing induce drag component. He has another video explaining induced drag which explains this better than I can with words.
