Aviation-Aerodynamics Lesson II

Lift equals weight
Thrust equals drag
Accelerate thrust exceeds drag
Decelerate drag exceeds thrust
Upper camber larger then lower camber
You can fly an airplane backwards
Motion of the air is the thing that affects plane not land
Relative wind is equal and opposite the flight path
Flight path is the aircraft moving direction
Angle of Attack = Chord Line and relative wind
Chord Line goes from the leading edge to trailing edge
That creates the angle of attack
The air is deflected slightly upward over leading edge and slightly downward after the trailing edge
This creating upwash and downwash respectively
The Leading edge of a wing slightly upwards due to the rest of the aircraft called Angle of Incidence
It’s the chord line and the Longitudeanol Axis
LIFT
Provides the upward force which sustains the aircraft in flight
Creation of lift is Bernoulli’s Principle-As the velocity of a fluid increases the pressure of that...
