Eli5: why isn’t a plane experiencing turbulence considered dangerous?
In: Engineering
You are on a plane going through turbulence. You look out the window and see the wings deflecting up and down. You want to freak out. Instead, just smile to yourself because, if they didn’t do that, they’d probably break off. They are designed to deflect like that. Snug up your seatbelt and get back to your movie. All is good.
