Lift/Drag and Wake Turbulence Flashcards
The use of flaps will ___ the L/D ratio
reduce
A lower span loading will give a ___ L/D ratio
higher
Tapered wings produce ___ vortices
smaller
Within ground effect, the same lift can be obtained at a ___ AoA, decreasing the total drag
lower
The L/D ratio for the aircraft ___ when producing a given lift in ground effect
increase
Vortex Intensity =
