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
