aeronaughtycs
The "less than proper" science of "doing it", which involves similar "basics" --- weight, lift, drag, and thrust --- to the study of how planes fly.
Early airplanes did indeed do a lot of pitching and diving, so I wonder if that's where the term "aeronaughtycs" originated, since those initial winged-creations' lack of stability in flight led to their "doing da bouncy-bouncy" a lot?
