1
Q
Angle of Attack
A
The angle made between the relative airflow and the chord line of the wing.
2
Q
Angle of incidence
A
This is the angle at which the ring is mounted to the fuselage
3
Q
Centre of pressure
A
The centre of pressure is the point through which the aerodynamic forces exerts itself. It is the average of all the lifting pressures
4
Q
What happens to the centre of pressure when the wing stalls?
A
It moves rearward
5
Q
Where will you find the worst wake turbulence?
A
The worst wake turbulence would be encountered behind a slow, clean, heavy airplane at the highest angle of attack
