The angle between a suitable reference line in a body (such as the axis of a body of revolution or the chord line of a wing) and the projection of the velocity relative to the ambient undisturbed relative airflow air on to the plane of symmetry. 3, record 2, English, - angle%20of%20attack
Record number: 2, Textual support number: 1 CONT
The angle at which the airfoil meets the relative airflow is called the angle of attack. As the angle of attack is increased, the changes in pressure over the upper and lower surfaces and the amount of downwash (i.e. air deflected downward) increase up to a point (the stalling angle). Beyond this angle, they decrease. 4, record 2, English, - angle%20of%20attack

The angle of attack should not be confused with the angle of incidence. 5, record 2, English, - angle%20of%20attack

L'angle auquel le profil aérodynamique rencontre l'écoulement d’air relatif s’appelle l'angle d’attaque. Quand on augmente l'angle d’attaque, les variations de pression(au-dessus et en dessous de l'aile), de même que la quantité d’air repoussé vers le bas augmentent et cela, jusqu'à un certain point(angle de décrochage). Au-delà de cet angle, elles diminuent. 3, record 2, French, - angle%20d%26rsquo%3Battaque
