H.H. Hurt did the original for the Navy I think. I'm showing the original
printing in 1960 when I got mine. There was a revision printed in 65.

We define angle of attack as the angle formed between the leading edge of
the wing and the relative wind. The angle of incidence would be the angular difference between the longitidunal axis of the airplane and a line drawn through the leading and trailing edges of the wing.(Chord Line) Dudley Henriques International Fighter Pilots Fellowship Commercial Pilot; CFI; Retired dhenriquestrashatearthlinktrashdotnet (take out the trash :-) "private" wrote in message news:UtOUd.528672$Xk.448356@pd7tw3no...

The angle of incidence would be the angular difference between the longitidunal axis of the airplane and a line drawn through the leading and trailing edges of the wing.(Chord Line) Isn't the "angle of attack" as defined above really the angle between the chord line and the relative wind? The leading edge is a line in a totally different direction. Jose -- Nothing is more powerful than a commercial interest. for Email, make the obvious change in the address. |

You are right. Chord line is absolutely correct. (Senior moment :-)

It is my understanding that some ac have slightly differing angles of incidence on each side. Blue skies to all |

It would be interesting to know the angles of incidence on each wing of the
Griffon powered Mk 14 Spitfire. DH "private" wrote in message news:FVPUd.530947$6l.188198@pd7tw2no...

I downloaded the some good books from http://www.e-publishing.af.mil thanks for the links C J C Is there an online source for "Aerodynamics for Naval Aviators"? If you dig a lot, you can come up with the Navy Fixed Wing Performance Flight Test Manual. I think it tops the Aerodynamics For Naval Aviators for page count but most of it is geared more for flight testing and the last section is a bunch of mission profiles. Uses nearly a ream of paper if you make a hard copy. You may also try for: Olson, Aircraft Performance Flight Testing (AFFTC-TIH-99-01) I think I found this from a link off of the Edwards web pages. Another free source is selected notes and papers found on the NASA/NACA pages. The information is there but some of the notation is an older style and harder to follow if you are used to the more modern texts. You'll have to do a lot of digging to get the same information since many of the papers are very specific to certain areas such as propellers. This is the only place I've ever seen the math with a factor for biplanes. I bought the book. Aerodynamics For Naval Aviators will be generally easier to understand if you don't already have a good foundation in aerodynamics. Another easy book is: Smith, The Illustrated Guide To Aerodynamics. This one is geared more toward general aviation aircraft. |

Sporty's sells it.
