The angle of attack is the angle between the forward stagnation point and the trailing stagnation point. The points of intersection of the chord line with the airfoil surface are static, but the stagnation points can change, altering the angle of attack. This has never been an accepted definition of angle of attack and your creation of it has no credibility. You just create even more confusion in your mind and in the minds of innocent truth-seekers here. If the angle of attack is not positive, there is no lift. You cannot have lift at negative angles of attack because that is not symmetric. So you don't believe NASA or NACA or anyone else that finds lift at negative AOAs on some airfoils? Dan |
