Angle of Attack This is the angle of an airfoil in relation to the oncoming air. If the airfoil is moving at a constant speed, a larger angle will generate more lift.

Humanity has long been obsessed with heavier-than-air flight, and to this day it remains a topic that is shrouded in a bit of mystery. In this video we take a detailed look at lift, starting with how ...

The graph below shows the total number of publications each year in Aeroacoustic Analysis of High-Lift Airfoil Systems. References [1] Slat noise in high-lift systems .

But how does an airfoil create lift? Lift is the force that opposes the weight of the airplane and is created by forward motion. When the air moves over the wings, it is forced to split to go ...
