Record 4 2014-10-20

English

Subject field(s)
  • Aerodynamics and Theory of Gases
  • Aeronautical Engineering and Maintenance
DEF

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.

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.

OBS

The angle of attack should not be confused with the angle of incidence.

OBS

angle of attack: term standardized by ISO and the British Standards Institution (BSI); term officially approved by the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO).

French

Domaine(s)
  • Théorie des gaz et aérodynamique
  • Aérotechnique et maintenance
CONT

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.

OBS
