Bernoullis Principal is described and related to air flow on a soaringslope. Rotors and dead spots are predictable on airfoils at high anglesof attack and on a slope. Dead spots are a good place to stand when flying oncold days. The rotor allows planes to climb higher than they otherwise wouldover the peak of the slope. When flying on a 70 slope on L. Mich. a 10-15 mphwind works better than 25 mph wind because the rotor does not exist at thehigher wind speed.
