Advanced Aerodynamics
Angle of Attack
JS280100
Regardless of experience level, every pilot must have a working knowledge of the principles of aerodynamics. Included in this knowledge should be an understanding of how angle of attack affects various aspects of flight.
Advanced Aerodynamics - Angle of Attack takes a look at angle of attack and how it affects lift and drag which, in turn, affects aircraft performance. Also included is a discussion on the aerodynamics of a spin.
Subjects included in Advanced Aerodynamics -
Angle of Attack:
Lift and drag equations
Coefficient of lift and drag
L/D max
The lift and drag curves
Various factors that effect lift
How the pilot can control lift
Factors that influence an aircrafts glide ratio
Effects of weight on glide speed
Spin considerations
