Keep on watching for a quiz about the subject at the end of this video. Would you like to support this channel and help us grow? Visit flight-club.co... to find out how.
I must have looked at dozens of videos on this very subject, but yours is the only one that explained AOA with the level of clarity, necessary for someone who knew nothing about the subject until today. You have the right insight and intuition to be a genuinely informative teacher. Thank you!
Going to university this year and going to study Aerospace Engineering, watching this video helps me get a head start. Thank you!!! I'm gonna watch all your videos.
Informative video Thank you so much It becomes hard for me to get answer of question due to red-green colour blindness Please make it different way in future video
Wing loading is relevant to AOA and relative wind because a heavily loaded aircraft will fly with more AOA and the relative wind will also change the affect of this is a high stall speed and slower flight for the same amount of power. increasing the G force is another way to increase wing load and raising the stall speed.
Could you please elaborate on Question 3? I thought the answer was the one above the correct answer, but I am unsure to why the bottom one is the more correct answer.
Certainly, this is a tricky one. The third answer would be correct if it said: "relative airflow is opposite to the direction of movement of the aircraft relative to the atmosphere", not "flight path". Thank you!
Yes, and the relative airflow is the flow of the air while it is undisturbed. Airflow around the airfoil gets disturbed in the boundary layer, thus its not relative air flow anymore. See the video on Stalling.
Not necessarily as the angle of attack depends on the relative airflow which is related to the flightpath. I explain it further in this video: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-jo24pruCz4U.html
Shouldn’t the answer to Q6 be the “curved line...”? As the mean camber line cuts the wing directly in half and requires the curve, however the chord line is straight.
Hello Pilots, Do I understand it right that, Stall will happen when you have a large angle of attack at relative low speed? But if, with the Same Angle of Attack, the speed is much higher, then stall won't happen. Right? And the plane will climb up of course. Right? If not right, Then how come that fighter jets and other acrobatic planes can climb straight vertically? I suppose this is because of their high speed, which provides enough lift, no matter in what direction or angle they move. So why can't normal plans in a critical angle of attack give full thrust to gain more lift? The air is the same everywhere in the sky. Why behaves the air different if we want to fly in an angle which is not parallel to the horizon?
