- the acute angle between the direction of the undisturbed relative wind and the chord of an airfoil
How To Use angle of attack In A Sentence
- They change the angle of attack from acute within the central delta, to near neutral over the outer triangular sail panel.
- Here we are, smoothly bringing the tail down with the fluke adjusted to just the right angle of attack, when - bang!
- A flatter swing decreases the angle of attack and the amount of backspin I put on the ball, both of which help me keep it down.
- Another nonlinear inversion controller was designed for the slow variables. It allows the pilot to control the slow dynamics, the angle of attack, side-slip angle and the velocity bank angle.
- They change the angle of attack from acute within the central delta, to near neutral over the outer triangular sail panel.
- They change the angle of attack from acute within the central delta, to near neutral over the outer triangular sail panel.
- A sliding mode observer is designed to estimate the angle of attack and flight path angle for a hypersonic vehicle.
- A steep, downward angle of attack launches the ball high with a lot of spin - a shot that balloons in the wind.
- The need to quickly stall the wing probably restricts the use of this mechanism to low-speed flight, when the wings are at a high angle of attack and more easily stalled.
- For this angle of attack the corresponding velocity distribution is constant for the second segment.
