	Angle of attack - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Angle of attack (α, Greek letter alpha) is a term used in aerodynamics to describe the angle between the airfoil's chord line and the direction of airflow wind, effectively the direction in which the aircraft is currently moving.
		The amount of lift generated by a wing is directly related to the angle of attack, with greater angles generating more lift (and more drag as it increases the frontal area).
		In sailing, the angle of attack is the angle between a mid-sail and the direction of the wind.

	Angle of Attack and Lift (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-07-20)
		Angle of attack must not be confused with an airplane's attitude in relation to the earth's surface, or with "angle of incidence" (the angle at which the wing is attached relative to the longitudinal axis of the airplane).
		Angle of attack is most frequently defined as the angle between the chord line of the wing, and the relative wind.
		At any angle of attack, other than the angle at zero lift, all the forces acting on the wing as a result of the pressure distribution surrounding it may be summed up and represented as one force - the center of pressure.

	Angle of Attack
		The angle of attack is the angle at which relative windmeets an airfoil.
		It is the angle that is formed by the chord of the airfoil and the direction of the relative wind or between the chord line and the flight path.
		The angle of attack is the angle between the chord of the airfoil and the relative wind.

	Inclination Effects on Drag
		The angle between the chord line and the flight direction is called the angle of attack and has a large effect on the drag generated by the wing.
		Since the amount of drag generated at zero angle and the location of the stall point must usually be determined experimentally, aerodynamicists include the effects of inclination in the drag coefficient.
		The wing model to determine angle of attack effects is long and thin, and may span the entire tunnel to produce a "two-dimensional" airfoil.

	Aerospaceweb.org \| Ask Us - Angle of Attack and Pitch Angle
		The explanation is that angle of attack is not measured from a level plane but is defined as the angle between the airfoil chord line and the relative wind.
		The pitch angle is defined as the angle between the longitudinal axis of the aircraft and the horizon.
		Angle of attack is one of the most fundamental and important quantities in aerodynamics, if not the most important.

	Function of angle of attack
		It is this angle of attack that is the primary parameter in determining lift.
		To better understand the role of the angle of attack it is useful to introduce an 'effective' angle of attack, defined such that the angle of the wing to the oncoming air that gives zero lift is defined to be zero degrees.
		A similar lift versus angle of attack relationship is found for all wings, independent of their design.

	The CEO Refresher - The Right Angle of Attack
		The angle of the wing vs the relative airflow is ‘the angle of attack.’ Generally (and intuitively), an increase in the angle of attack will translate into greater lift and vice versa.
		It is the relative angle of attack vs the relative airflow that is critical.
		The angle of attack, in terms of the external relative airflow and the design capabilities of the aircraft must be ‘right’ to execute maneuvers safely, and with precision.

	Pilot's Web The Aviators' Journal - Elements affecting the Angle of Attack
		The angle of attack is the angle between the direction of the airflow and chord line.
		An increase in the angle of attack causes an increase in both lift and drag while a decrease in the angle of attack causes a decrease in both.
		It follows that by rolling an airplane, the angle of attack of the descending wing increases and the angle of attack of the ascending wing decreases.

	Inclination Effects on Lift
		The angle between the chord line and the flight direction is called the angle of attack and has a large effect on the lift generated by a wing.
		For thin airfoils, the lift is directly proportional to the angle of attack for small angles (within +/- 10 degrees).
		Since the amount of lift generated at zero angle and the location of the stall point must usually be determined experimentally, aerodynamicists include the effects of inclination in the lift coefficient.

	Aeronautics - Principles of Flight (RELATIVE WIND) - Level 2
		(We call this difference the angle of incidence.) Since we describe relative wind (relative motion) as having velocity (speed and direction), the relative wind's direction for the wing is different from that of the fuselage.
		Very briefly, angle of attack is a term used to express the relationship between an airfoil's chord and the direction of its encounter with the relative wind.
		When speaking of the angle of attack, we normally think of the relative wind striking the airfoil from straight ahead.

		Notice the angle of attack at that point is a negative value.
		As the angle of attack increases from 12 to 19 degrees for this particular design, there isn’t much increase in lift but you have a lot more drag.

	THE STALL And Angle of Attack (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-07-20)
		Loosely defined, a stall occurs when the angle of attack of the planes wing exceeds the point where the airflow can follow the wings contour; the organized airflow breaks down, sharply reducing lift (see diagram).
		But in BOTH cases, the stall angle of attack is the same, at 10 degrees.
		For most fairly stable aircraft, the amount you move the stick (and thus the elevator) determines the angle of attack the plane flies at.

	Aerodynamic engineering - Formula 1 Wing Angle Of Attack
		At a certain angle of attack, you will find that the pressure beyond a certain point on the surface of the airfoil doesn't change at all if you increase the angle of attack further.
		It's hard to find the stall angle and I have never reached it testing on the car because the loss suffered by the rest of the car increasing the flap angle is very big.
		Consider that the rear wing (RW) behaviour depends on the FW flap angle and the flow under the floor (extremely important) is affected as well.

		Let's also assume the angle of attack (aoa) is approximately + 0.2 degrees.
		If the sailplane suddenly encounters lift (a rising air current), the aoa will momentarily increase due to the sudden change in relative wind, or "shear," then return to it's original value.
		Once the forces stabilize, the aoa and the flightpath (through the air) will will return.

	Shallow angle of attack (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-07-20)
		My understanding is that in general, given the lie is not so bad, a shallower angle of attack will be more tolerable to thin & fat shots.
		Posted: 12/15/04 9:28:22 AM tommyj,you are correct that a shallow attack is more forgiving.The clubhead sweeps rather than dig and the flat spot through impact is longer.
		In my opinion- shallow angle of angle is a major power leakage, one that allows the clubface to open and layback thru impact - that produces a cut or fade shot on its own.

	Angle of Attack for Airfoil
		While an airplane wing is one of the most popular examples of the Bernoulli effect, many discussions allege that the Bernoulli lift is actually a small part of the lift force which allows the aircraft to fly.
		You can argue that the main lift comes from the fact that the wing is angled slightly upward so that air striking the underside of the wing is forced downward.
		Increasing the angle of attack can increase the lift, but it also increases drag so that you have to provide more thrust with the aircraft engines.

	Airfoil lift with changing angle of attack (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-07-20)
		Tests have been made in the atmospheric wind tunnel of the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics to determine the effects of pitching oscillations upon the lift of an airfoil.
		It has been found that the lift of an airfoil, while pitching, is usually less than that which would exist at the same angle of attack in the stationary condition, although exceptions may occur when the lift is small or if the angle of attack is being rapidly reduced.
		It is also shown that the behavior of a pitching airfoil may be qualitatively explained on the basis of accepted aerodynamic theory.
