AOA is a scalar. Actually, if the wing is reasonably designed, the AOA *is* a vector. It changes along the wing, usually being smaller at the wing tip and bigger at the wing root. Hence, it cannot be described by a single scalar, but rather by a -you guessed it- vector. On the most modern wings (e.g. Antares), this vector is even infinite-dimensional. I'm aware that this was not what Neil meant when he was talking of AOA being a vector. Stefan
