What does lift and drag depend on
Surface area of profile
Dynamic pressure
Shape of profile
Angle of attake
What does a vortex generator do
Improve the boundary layer control
What is form drag
When the pressure in-front is different to the pressure behind
What is anhedral
The downward slope of a wing
What is the angle of incidence
The constructed angle formed between the longitudinal datum of the fuselage and the chord line of the wing.
What is the mean camber line
A line between the upper and lower surfaces of the profile
The continuity equation states
The speed of the air flow is inversely proportional to the area of the cross section
What are the 4 types of wing
Elliptical wing
Rectangular wing
Tapered wing
Swept wing
What is angle of attack
The angle between the chord line and the relative wind
